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.
