Keep us humble.

I’m in agreement with you Batti.

I am in the habit of saying IMHO at the end of some of my posts, and will continue to do so because I’ve learned the hard way on here that people are conveniently inclined to forget that it’s just an opinion and not a fact, especially if it goes against their ‘perfect’ ideals on how we should all live and behave.

At the other end of the stick, there are also a lot of mere humble opinions posted here as facts, particularly when criminal court cases and politics are being discussed.

What is questionable is when someone states an opinion but then fails to discuss/debate/defend where their opinion logically might lead to, and indeed deny having such an opinion in the first place.
But I don’t think some people actually realize that their opinions about anything including their own believes are merely their opinions. Often people stick so closely to their opinions that they think they are accurate facts. Some people get lost in the giving of their opinion including me. It happens. We have egos.

Re: Opining an opinion

Everyone has an opinion of some sort but some are better than others at giving it.
