In the first place, just because you have an opinion, that does not mean that it will be a good one. Nor does it follow that your opinion on any given topic contains the same weight or value as others simply because you have one. You have been asked to defend your opinion because other have recognised that it appears poorly formed, contrary to more conventional thinking, and in conflict with available scientific evidence. Simply put: if you are going to go against the grain, then don't be surprised when others require you to offer an explanation.
Furthermore, you seem to have ignored the fact that EddyBeers has in fact produced a good deal of scientific evidence to counter your opinion. And then instead of rethinking some of your own fairly ignorant posts on the subject, or taking the time to consider why others might take offense, you behave like a petulant child; whining about the injustice of having to defend your ideas in a public form with some form of evidence beyond your gut instinct.
