I find your comment offensive: “don’t SUPPOSE x” is very different of “dont DO x” as it’s just a paraphrase of “x is a misconception”.

Furthermore he may be a minority (or not, all we know is you both have a different social circle) but that just make him someone with originals idea so let’s listen instead of blaming (please).

What in the world are you talking about?
I might have misunderstood his comment (not english native) and present my apologies if i did.

However my understanding is that proclaiming someone opinion is a “minority outlier” without any more info or source is rude and close minded. Also, how do you understand “minority” in his comment?

It’s like saying “I have a different opinion of yours and I think your opinion is not popular here so shut up please.” By the reactions, his post brought interest and more ideas from others so it’s a good think he didn’t auto-censored.
