Debs! How ya been?
Oh man that's so fucking annoying. They don't even realise they've contradicted themselves and weakened their argument further. You can't go around using an opinion as if it's fact - not realising that just because someone disagrees with you they're not necessarily wrong - and then go on to use that as a defence. If that's you opinion, this is mine and might disagrees with yours - that's how the world works. Different people have different views, you should accept that. Maybe you could discuss them, like rational, reasonable people who are open minded (something they often claim to be, and just as often they're really not)

Adding on to your comment about people who don't know the difference from fact and opinion is when they discredit a fact by saying "bit it's my opinion".
