The second half isn't opinion to me. The first half is troublesome to me more in the negative than the positive example from Bigfish's post. Though even "I have had issues", is more problematic than "I had no issues." You can't elucidate on the positive experience. "What kind of problems didn't you have?" isn't really valid. Once you venture into the negative though, some explanation is warranted. Though it can remain completely factual.

"He took three weeks to ship."
"He pulled a bait and switch."
"He said my mother dresses me funny."

Would all NOT be opinions, merely reporting on the facts of the transaction. but a blanket, "I had issues" probably needs clarification if not a name attached.

you went from a response of “Not in my book” to the current novelette. keep editing and eventually you might understand that a positive opinion needs a name beside it just like a negative one does.

Because I thought more deeply about it because I generally have an open mind.

"I had no problems." is not an opinion.

"I had problems." is not an opinion, but in fairness could use some explanation.

I agree with Scott on this. I do not see where TP opined on anything. Btw I told the OP I would send his contact info and yet to even hear back. Topps has a lot of cards and why burn a bridge. He does have 100% feedback with lots of it. So being honest doesnt seem a question.

Same idea but the verbiage at the top of pages has been broadened. Some would say that a fact isn't an opinion. Regardless, a name was needed.

Now, however, there should be less ambiguity about when a name is needed. And if that doesn't do it we can broaden it some more.

That's a whole new kettle of wax, or ball of fish or something. By those standards I would have to agree a name is needed.

I'm in a pre-war group on Facebook, with lots of reputable member crossover from this board.
I've seen several express some very concerning messages from Toppsaholic aka Matthew Zimmerman.
However, one came up today, where Matthew has found the members wife's phone number, and started texting her.
Then this morning, he found the members child's name, and sent the following message via eBay to the member:

"K***** (child's name) is getting big eh?
You have trouble brewing"

Just out of curiosity, has anyone ever dug into Matthews public records?
Checked the sex offender registry?
This is very concerning behavior...
