I don't have a problem with personal accounts of experiences, although, the belabouring of a positive or negative point might could be a little tone down - but that's just me. I have a difficulty with generalizations as in: This happened to me and it must be what happens to everyone, therefore it's an awful choice or the flip to that: This happened to me and therefore, it must be the answer for everyone. These can turns into judgements for and of others and I've recently seen some commentary where I and others (by their admission) felt offended.
My thoughts: Some of it comes down to wordsmithing - there are ways to make points and opinions known that involve HOW it is said as well as WHAT's being said. I guess it's Babblespeak I've become comfortable with - most folks here really do a good job with it.
