No, Those were opinions.

What is the exact distinction between "opinions" and "polemics"?

Easy, my opinion should not be arguable, similar to the statement, "I like broccoli".(All the preceeding in itself is an opinion) The "Shhesh." which you posted indicated an argument.(ditto) I did not argue about the correctness of your sharpened rock opinion(you can grasp that tightly and wave it around ostentatiously for all I care), I merely pointed out that you had entered into polemics. And since this is now polemics, as I pointed out in post 344, I will no longer participate in the polemic. You, however, can continue to give great examples and pleasure your socks off.
