Just add "I think..." before any sentence that express a mere point of view, please.
It's so much better to not have definitive sentences if you don't have the intention to give arguments.

TITIFTFY (There, I think I've fixed this for you). Further, from where I stand the sense of my words is prefaced by 'I prefer...' at the top and ultimately sidelined as non-argumentative by the jokey context for this branch of the discussion. I think that you might have overlooked this - no worries.
