It is not one person's opinion. It is the opinion of a substantial majority of the members of this community.

You could similarly argue that my preference for you not driving 90mph down my street is being unfairly imposed upon you too: And with equal validity. The community sets the standard and civilized people respect the standard or leave the community. Everyone that posts has a choice to make ... and everyone else has the same freedom of choice to ignore or comment on the post.
