Qualifiers.
I view these discussions through the general pretense that that's an unspoken given.
Sure, I’ll pepper a discussion with “IMO” and “I think” “from where I stand” as a force of habit and semantic necessity, but I think charitable listening takes those qualifiers as a given, because the mere act of making the statement already implies that the statement is the opinion of the person making the statement.
I think this is especially true in discussions of art, which is always subjective, until we arrive at a point of objective fact.
Far as an artists work, I'm 100% behind the artist doing whatever they see fit- while still being 100% for people giving their feedback. It's largely a symbiotic relationship, which I think gets closer as the reach and impact of that work increases.
For the record, I didn’t think you were denying me my right to my opinion. But these are things that get sorted out in the course of the discussion, of course.
