I put quotes around "opinion". For instance:
"The blub language has the worst debugging support of any language I've used."
That is absolutely an opinion. It gives the impression of an informed opinion. Someone reads that and concludes that the blub language should be avoided because debugging will be a terrible experience. Perhaps what that person was saying is that blub doesn't have GDB support and in fact that turns out to be wrong. If someone asks for elaboration, they should indeed elaborate.
In the case of my comment, I just provided details so that everything is on the table. None of the other things you've asked for are relevant to my original comment.
