So what you are saying (through an incredibly thick layer of condescension) is that you know your belief is wrong. And instead of changing your belief, you would rather maintain it, knowing it is wrong. That's just bizarre.
I would have reasonably expected you to lead with that. You no longer belive that all politicians should be required to have their internet browsing history published?
If so, then I congratulate you on the personal growth.
All I'm doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don't like you. If you no longer hold that opinion, then great, that's growth. If you do, then I'm going to continue to refer to it as an example of your shitty takes.
You mean you are spotlighting a terrible opinion I held at the time but didn't ask whether or not I held it until I pointed out you didn't ask.
An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.
Which, I would say, suggests that whether I say I do or I don't, you don't actually care and are just throwing out a platitude because you would essentially be forced to if I say I don't.
It's fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.

Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?
An opinion I have repeatedly suggested was not a good opinion.
If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?

Your presumption of my intention is both incorrect and insulting.
It's fine that you hate me, but just be honest about why.
This is another incorrect presumption of my intention. I have been true and honest in all my statements.
Do you think it is reasonable to expect anybody referencing your words to reach out to you to ensure your publicly stated option is still up to date?
I do think it is reasonable. Too bad you didn't do that. As you said yourself, "All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you."
If you know (or knew) it is not a good opinion, then why do you hold (or held) that opinion?
Because, again, I am a flawed human being. Why can't you accept that? Do you want me to say I'm perfect and wonderful and lovable and brilliant? Because I don't think I'm any of those things, sorry.

That is not a reasonable expectation. You are not so special that it is an offense to reference your words without clearing it with you first. Your comments will always be taken at face value.
As you said yourself, "All I’m doing here is spotlighting your terrible opinion, which is relevant in a thread about why people don’t like you."
I do not understand the relevance of this statement. Please elaborate.

I do not understand. You have the ability to change your opinions. Why would you post bad ones, knowing they are bad? I cannot comprehend knowing that you are doing something wrong and choosing to do it anyway.
Oh the irony.
Please elaborate. I have not made any presumptions about you. My opinion of you is solely based on the information that you have posted.
