Afterwards, you said you understood how some people could feel otherwise. That's not you softening your stance, that's you adding a caveat.
As an example, Antoine Walker is garbage. I can understand why some people feel otherwise.
Does that mean I don't think he's garbage? No, It means I can understand why some people wouldn't (again, it was an example - no I don't understand why they'd feel otherwise)...
1st post: One sentence statement that states my opinion of him not being a hall of famer.
2nd post: An explanation why not. If someone wrote that they felt Antoine Walker is a hall of famer I wouldn't include "how some people could feel otherwise." because no reasonable person could feel otherwise. That statement was an acknowledgment a legitimate case could be made (even if I felt it was wrong).
