Expressing your own point of view while acknowledging that other points of view exist shouldn't be strange. Strange is not being able to see things from different perspectives, those people are abnormal even when they happen to be in the majority.
The only valid criticism I see is that "by any stretch" is hyperbolic, but that's easily forgivable.
