Not at all. But, if you may have one then so may I. So, simply because I don't agree with everyone I am thus saying others shouldn't have an opinion? Is there any point where I actually said that? You get a feeling? My words on the screen are not what I really mean? I write one thing but actually meant something else? And, since you brought it up now, I get the "feeling" that most people on here don't want an opinion any different to theirs, simply because it challenges their long-held perceptions.
I truly believed the aim of PC was for people to grow mentally, so that we can all conquer the demons that are holding us hostage in our own lives. Now, I'm no longer so sure. How will that happen if nobody ever challenges anybody else? Let's all agree, and so doing, learn...nothing.
I come on to PC every day, and I see countless good, strong, loving, caring people sit here on the forums saying the most horrible things about themselves. I see people who believe that nobody loves them, I see people who think others are talking behind their backs, I see people who believe they deserve to die because they did not live up to some stupid, crap world standard rubbish that some idiot thought up somewhere. I see mothers too scared to speak to their own daughters because they truly believe they failed them, I see daughters feeling they will never live up to what their mother's image for them was. I see fathers distant from sons, and sons distant from fathers. I see husbands and wives who can tell strangers the most intimate secrets of their own bedroom, but cannot even discuss these things with each other. I see the real narcissists (who are the ones who should be on PC) out there stealing all the love and joy out of people's lives, and then those same people sitting here saying it is all their own fault that the narcissist did what they did to them. I see people asking questions like "Would you be friends with a fat person or not?" What is so sad about it all is, that 90% or more of it is not even true. The 10% that is true is blown so far out of proportion and so over-exaggerated that people actually believe "That's it, there's no hope for me." I see people sitting here truly believing they are evil and bad to the core, with not one single fact to back it up. I see people on PC claiming to be psychopaths. Psychopaths? Really? Psychopaths can stop lying, conniving, manipulating and destroying long enough to self-diagnose their destructive behaviour and actually believe there is something wrong with them, so that they in turn seek help, themselves?
Do you believe that is possible? Can something like that actually happen? If you believe it, then I say, why hell yeah!

And as a final thing - look, it's gone. If you took issue with it, all you had to do was ask.

I honestly did not take issue with it! Yet, I somewhat believe you may have been beating a debate to death. Maybe I've been using groups on Facebook for too long.
As for someone actually having all the answers, doubt it! Life is meant to be a mystery. One of which we may never learn.
BTW, I don't mind debates but the photography groups on Facebook are trying me really! It's like if you try to be artistic you are wrong because, and God forbid, you broke rules to get you finished image!
