An interesting point. From my point of view I don't think I have any issue at all with the separation of the subjective and the objective. I often make an extra effort to point out the subjective point of view that I have - I have often made it clear what my biases are, when my mind is closed, when posting selected information that supports my views (or cherry picking), etc. On many issues I never make any pretense of being objective. I would argue that those who make personal comments directed at me have simply failed to understand the difference. But, that is just from my point of view.
