"and yet your sentence makes little sense if you’re indicating that it only applies if it does diminish someone’s opinion."
What I indicted was it shouldn't diminish someone's opinion, it merely categorizing the opinion to certain side of politics. Are you saying you never categorise opinions or policy positions as being left or right?
Sorry to break it to you, but anyone, or the vast majority, who frequents these threads and/or engages with you will draw the conclusion you support the COALition party and most, if not all, of it policies and positions on various issues. Even if you don't want to be labelled a righty.. unfortunately for you, you'll be categorise as a righty for your opinions in support of a right wing party. Are you trying to distance yourself from the right?
