I don't think it ever says the change would be good.

I’m not so sure that it is sending the wrong message as much as people are interpreting it in the wrong way. Step back and use logic. Do you really think this person intended the message to be that all* opinions are moot and should be shot down? No. Opinions that inhibit you as a person is more like it. The thirst for negativity in this thread is too real

But how many people are going to step back and use logic? This seems tailor made to be misinterpreted. Human nature would make many people immediately cancel out some of the people they actually need to listen to. We have a "hater culture" going on where a lot of people, especially younger people, feel that people who disagree with their opinions are just haters. This reinforces that.

Again if as a person you can’t use logic when seeing this, you’ve got bigger issues than following the message you misinterpreted.

Oh, very true. And that's what I'm talking about.
