Judging opinions

I don't mind you judging my opinions. In fact I want you to do it.

Are you scared? Do you want to hide behind your comfortable biases or your holier-than-thou attitude? Are you afraid that if your opinions turn out to be false or hypocritical you will be put to unending shame?

Quite the contrary. A person who admits that his past views were wrong enjoys high favour in my eyes.
