Omaroo, I think the point here is that everyone is free to express an opinion. But you are not free from any consequences that doing so would invoke.
I am quite free to tell my partner that the dinner which took all day to make tastes like crap. But I shouldn't be surprised if I find myself having to cook my own dinner the next few nights or needing to duck as the plate comes flying in my direction.
In the same way Ms Skene is free to express her opinion. But if by doing so she shows herself to be, perhaps a little on the unenlightened side of the spectrum. She shouldn't be surprised when those who actually understand the significance of the "black Spot" tell her so.
