Ah, I see your modus operandi now. When your logical flaws are exposed, you ridicule and insult the other poster in hopes s/he will become defensive, which means you never actually have to employ logic yourself.

Interesting strategy.

Shall I now conclude you are wrong simply because this is your opinion? I am not attacking you, and do not want you to be defensive, so you need not "impune" my "motives".

I was demonstrating that identifying a premise as an opinion does not constitute a logical flaw. I do not want you to feel defensive, it is a common mistake, but I am not going to play dumb to protect your feelings either.
