I think making the statement is okay, as long as you back it up with some hard
facts when making a statement like that.

You cannot just want to rip into something without cause, other than your
opinion. Opinions are great, as long as they are fully back up with some
evidence to match your statement.

How would you like it if I called you a moron and really had no other opinion
that from what I saw you post that I have seen on here.

What I wrote is an opinion which is not wanted here, nor is there anything to
back up my statement, other than opinion.
