I have a friend who swears like a sailor whenever he blogs about something he has a strong opinion on. It doesn't matter if I agree with that opinion or not -- or in this case really don't know enough about the subject matter to do so. I still admire people who have an opinion and aren't afraid to own it.

I get that we're not all wired to be vocal about our opinion. No big deal. I've got plenty of things to say sometimes where I opt to shut up instead. What annoys the crap out of me is when people are vocal in their criticism and try and debate in the comments from an anonymous standpoint. WTF. If you have an opinion, own it or shut up.
