Each to their own, I guess, though it strikes me as pretty strange and disingenuous to try and insist that everyone has to lace every single post with 'IN MY OPINION' when it can be reasonably be inferred that any given poster's contributions to the forum are just that.

The problem is, and you are well aware of this, some people here like to push their opinions as "the community as a whole" opinions.

You know "many people agree."

That goes well beyond personal opinion takes.

I link a lot of these threads to my community circle, and they all tend to disagree with whatever the topic is that I disagree with. But I don't come here pushing that as "the community opinion"

I voice my disagreements as my own. Aveyond does not.

Edit: Oh my, imagine going just one more thread over:

This was a much nicer way of articulating my thoughts on the subject

Nobody is Policing tone.
We are asking for intentions to be made clear. Are you speaking for yourself and your opinion, or are you speaking for others. If you say "People are not satisfied" you arnt speaking for yourself and your opinion. You are talking on others behalf. Thats just Basic English.

You're dealing with children, of course they can't tell the difference between someone stating a fact or an opinion unless they're told.

If you're the type of person who needs someone else to specify when they're stating an opinion, you are indeed a child.

Cool down the hostility, for your own sake.

This is essentially the pot calling the kettle black. Sorry, but if you cannot contribute meaningfully to a debate without devolving to calling one party a child then you really ought to consider who exactly is the child in this thread.

But to address the point, and many parties are guilty of this but if you attempt to use the words (and a paraphrase): "The majority of..."; "Most people..." then you are essentially just using thinly veiled words in an attempt to present an opinion as a fact, and both are equally as bad. You can find plenty of this in the "Ardbert's Party vs the Scions Analysis" thread, if you want.
