Wrong. The only person who acts that way around here is Impscum. Please provide evidence of me, Frink, Dominic etc. saying our opinions are factual or anything like that.

Exhibit A: Equating personal opinion with objectivity (i.e. fact)

TV’s Frink said:

Anyone is allowed to like the prequels, doing so is just expressing one’s personal opinion. However, I firmly believe that anyone who doesn’t think they’re objectively poorly executed is either not paying attention or lying to themselves. That makes them bad.

Exhibit B: Equating a group of opinions with objectivity (i.e. fact)

putting aside the fact that the large majority of people (in general, not just this site) say the prequels aren’t great, which isn’t evidence but is as good an objective indicator as you can get

But didn’t you know? Opinion and subjective anecdotes = fact!
