It occurred to me today that my summary of opinion posting here, as outlined in Confirmation Bias, was not fully accurate. My claim that I don't offer opinions as much as analysis of opinions is true for political and social commentary. But I do offer opinions when I write about religious topics, and seldom do any analysis of why people have the religious views they do. Perhaps it is because religious people hear enough amateur psychologising anyway, and I see no need to add to it unless I have something large to say. Which I don't think I have, yet.
Really, I don't know. I'll have to think about this. At a minimum, I think I can attend to the method of how I go about searching for ill motive.
