I'm not so sure. To the extent that we make public statements, we invite
discussion of our attitudes. I'm quite comfortable defending what I've
said, not that I expect my views to be considered particularly worthy of
extended debate. If <insert name of famous person> participated here, I
don't think that would make their statements off-limits for discussion.
I didn't reply to A McD because there didn't seem to be anything
specific to reply to.
