I don't think throwing unsubstantiated claims around is a particularly nice thing to do. I don't mind you having these opinions. But if you're not ready to properly argue them, it's probably better to just abstain from the discussion entirely. That's how I handle my own opinions as well.
- kick 7y agoI was asked why I dislike something. I answered. "Unsubstantiated" is a really weird thing to use in the context of opinion. An unsubstantiated claim exclusively applies to fact, while I was very clearly giving my opinion. None of the things listed can be objectively measured. I'd be perfectly happy to argue for them, but I don't think this is the right place to do it. Frankly, I don't care about how you handle your own opinions. When I am asked about my own, I'll tell them. I won't try and sell them as factual to anyone else, though, which is what going into more detail would require me doing in this particular instance.
