I think for the reasons you've stated it's a wise and respectful thing to do. I prefer to read such posts over those where forum members state their opinions as if they are facts that cannot be challenged.

Tbh I'm not really fussed on what posting style other members want to use as long as I can understand what they've posted then it's okay imo.

I do get your point though as some posts have been antagonistic in the past when a member's opinions have been stated as fact.

Although tbf not all posts without “imo” in them are antagonistic in my view but I do get that some people will be like you and see it differently.
