		 In reverse though, I see a lot of people take as personal criticism any obviously subjective point of view that isn't prefaced by some form of "in my opinion." 
 
When I saw "raw tomatoes are gross" it really isn't necessary for me to say "in my opinion - and I'm perfectly aware that lots of people disagree and that my opinion is not necessarily any more valid than their -  tomatoes are gross." 
 
I get this on movie reviews all the time. "Well, that's just your opinion!!" Well, duh!
