Stridency of opinion is perfectly appropriate so long as one is willing to admit that opinions, regardless of how strident, are personal. Other folk will inevitably have equally strident, equally valid, and diametrically opposed opinions.
MoR has equally strident opinions. He obviously dislikes the jacket. However rather than simply labelling it as cheap and ugly, he has provided a careful analysis of why he dislikes it. For that reason, I will carefully consider his arguments. In the end, I may decide I disagree, but I will have the benefit of his opinion.
