I don't believe that someone should let their opinion go just because people reply that they disagree.
In fact, if you tell someone that their opinion is wrong then it's natural for the person to stand up for their opinion all the more.
If somebody makes a post stating an opinon you don't believe in, it's sometimes better not to respond and let the unchallenged opinion stand and then slide into obscurity.
IMHO it's when people tell the poster they are wrong (prompting to the poster defending themselves) that causes things to blow out of proportion and become a problem.
As I said earlier, ignoring people is a much under rated skill at times.
