Your opinion was discarded.

We understand that everybody has an opinion, and each of those opinions is valuable in its own right. But here's the thing - opinions without proper foundation or knowledge can do more harm than good.

Why was your opinion discarded?

You've been directed to this page because your response or opinion, as it currently stands, lacks proper substance, context, or relevancy. It's not about silencing you or negating your voice. It's about fostering a conversation that's thoughtful, productive, and based on well-informed perspectives.

When An Opinion Becomes Noise

Opinions transform into noise when they:

• Outdated
  Are based on outdated or irrelevant sources.
• Fallacious
  Encourage a fallacious argument.
• Ignorant
  Fail to consider the nuances of the present context.
• Disrespectful
  Are disrespectful, derogatory, or offensive.
• Provocative
  Focus more on provocation rather than fruitful conversation.

In the era of 'outrage culture,' it's crucial to step back and evaluate if our opinions contribute value to the discussion or simply ignite unnecessary flame wars.

How To Build A Worthwhile Opinion

There are a few things that one can do to ensure their opinion is not just heard but respected and valued:

• Stay Updated
  Ensure your opinion is based on the most recent and relevant information available.
• Critical Thinking
  Analyze the information you have before forming an opinion. Avoid bandwagon thinking and knee-jerk reactions.
• Open-Mindedness
  Be willing to consider other perspectives and adjust your view as necessary.
• Respectful Communication
  A well-articulated opinion loses its value when wrapped in offensive or disrespectful language.
• Learn and Grow
  The best opinions are those that evolve with new insights and information. Accept that you might be wrong and be willing to grow.
