Yes and? why repeat something obvious.
> Deprecating something is not a challenge if it is presented as subjective. It is the combination of deprecation and statement as fact (e.g. "without a doubt") that is confrontational. And confrontational opinions are perfectly acceptable in the correct context. My claim is that a context where any disagreement breaks social conventions is the wrong context.
An opinion itself can never be confrontational. It's a person that takes it as a confrontation. Just like offense is taken not given.
To illustrate that your response was a tautology, and therefore it did not contribute to your argument.
>An opinion itself can never be confrontational.
But an expression of an opinion can be. If I say "I am 100% certain that [thing I like] is better than [thing you like]", that is a challenge to you. And it is not a fair argument if I say it in a context where you can't reply without punishment.
