I was recently engaged by someone that thought they would enlighten me with their thoughts on something I was doing. I said well, I really like it this way, which of course did not suit them at all. Eventually I politely told them after further exchange that my way was the way I was going to do it and if they didn't like it they didn't have to look at it but they were certainly entitled to their opinion.
They then said that it wasn't an opinion, if I asked anybody in the world, they would tell me the same thing, that I was doing this "wrong". Getting a bit outdone I said if nobody in the world likes it, nobody has to look at it, it's mine and I am doing it the way I want it done. I mean for crying out loud, this was NOT a matter of life or death!
Is it me or is the line between fact and opinion that fine?
