Perhaps if people are made to feel their opinions are worthless, they will respond by developing opinions that are less subject to that characterization. People whose contributions to the process are not reasonable and thoughtful damage the process by their participation, and coddling them by insisting on equal valuation of their opinions is counterproductive.
