Dude. This bites me in the ass so much. As everyone has noticed, I voice strong opinions. Therefore, people assume that I believe my opinions are facts. The fact that I also often share facts doesn't help - in my mind, the facts and opinions are crystal clear ("I hate X" - clearly an opinion; "X received a lot of negative press according to wikipedia" - clearly a fact). Unfortunately, this gives opponents the leeway to act as if my facts are opinions. It also allows people to assume that every opinion I hold is held deeply. The fact that I wouldn't contribute to a conversation in which I have no opinion never enters the equation - that I only chime in about stuff I know about (or am curious about) ends up being to my detriment. So much inflection is lost on the internet. So much context. (opinion, but I can back it up if I have to) It makes conversations unnecessarily prickly.
