It's important, though, that the "right kind" not just be defined as 
"everyone who agrees with me" or even "everyone who agrees with the 
majority".

As a community, we say that we value diversity.  For that to be true, we 
have to not be seen to (or appear to - for the average viewer) reject 
ideas based on who they come from or if they're unpopular - or even if 
they're poorly expressed.

It's important to weigh ideas based on their merits.
