"If mankind minus one were of one opinion, then mankind is no more justified in silencing the one than the one - if he had the power - would be justified in silencing mankind."
- John Stewart Mill
That is unless the one might have the intention of doing 'harm' to the others, or the others had the intention of doing 'harm' to the one.
I always find it's a bad idea to quote philosophers on message boards because there are always a lot more variables than that which can be contained in one single quote.
