Things you should do.

Regarding stating opinion as fact, I feel it is a great waste of time to preface everything with "In my opinion." Clearly, I am writing it, thus it is my opinion.

No, not ALWAYS is it that clear. It may be TO YOU, but not to everyone. I'm not saying that you have to say "in my opinion" every single time, but to qualify some statements would help in many conversations.

When in a discussion of morals or other non-concrete ideas, I generally take what everyone says as their opinion. This is a conversation, not a game of Jeopardy.

Precisely, so why should anyone have to guess what another is implying/saying/expressing?

I will continue to post my opinions without the opinion disclaimer, especially in cases like this.

Then people will continue to call you on it, and act accordingly.
