Why should you have to remind them it's your opinion? Whose opinion did they think it was? Englebert bleedin' Humperdinks?
God you're contrary Prom! I've just explained it in the post! You're not, as such, reminding them that it's your opinion, you're advising them that your opinion is yours but it's not necessarily prescriptive.
I.e. You shouldn't commit murder
or
IMO should listen to Ska music
Why do you need to 'advise' them it's your opinion? Are they stupid? And nobody should listen to ska unless they want to hate music. Will you take that as fact because I neglected to add it was just an opinion?
I intend to be 'contrary' about this till the bitter end
Yes, they might be stupid, it's the internet after all!
Hmm, that's a matter of opinion, IMO I disagree - see what I've done there?
While I think that you should listen to ska and if you did, you'd have a better taste in music, I acknowledge that liking ska isn't necessarily an authoritive proof of good musical taste, it's just my opinion that liking ska makes you a funamentally better person with better musical taste!
