The Opinion section operates editorially independently from the rest of the newspaper. It is the section’s unique mission both to be the voice of The Times, and to challenge it. The Op-Ed pages were born, in part, because of the closing of New York’s top conservative newspaper, The New York Herald Tribune. They were created to be opposite the editorial pages — and not just physically.

Well I’m glad you’re back on track talking about the subject at hand. Took you a while but you got there. Maybe don’t take so many detours next time.
Regarding the subject at hand, I guess you’re entitled to your own opinion then too, aren’t you?
…I’m sorry, I think you meant to post this in reply to a different post.
Nope.
Are you sure you’re not just confused again?
