I Believe Everyone Is Entitled to Their Opinion

Unpopular opinion: Hitler was a shitty person, but he was a great leader.
You can say what you want about him being a shitty person, but he still got so many people to follow him and most of the good things he did for Germany are still effective today. Shitty people can be great leaders. Great people can be shitty leaders. It happens.

Let's say Jeffrey Dahmer killed your family and ate them and someone else posed the question, He was a sick human being, but he was also a criminal mastermind! ... no, he was a crazy nut. But regardless of what you intend to discover with the line of questioning, people are going to have a very visceral reaction because of the terrible things that this human being did to other humans. It is difficult for people to think objectively, and I think you knew the question was going to rile people up. You begin with "unpopular opinion," which is putting it mildly. So, I am not lambasting you - merely pointing out objectively, well, as you might with regard to Hitler, that there was bound to be a backlash due to the nature of the question. Why is anyone surprised or making appeals for people to think rationally? When someone says something so emotionally charged, what do you expect?
