Whether everyone has or has not the right to their own opinion is a moot point. The problem with the internet is that everyone has the faculty to express an opinion - however ill-informed, moronic, perverse or demonstrably wrong. The brain-sick have been empowered, and the rest of us spend more time than we would wish trying to repair the damage they do.
