BoR, I think there is a difference in that you make clear that you are expressing an opinion versus a fact. I try to do the same, but when I fail to make that distinction and I'm challenged on a statement, I feel obligated to respond. Being challenged forces me to look carefully at what I am saying and assess why I believe it to be true. I come to this forum to test my beliefs rather than force my beliefs upon others.
