How should you express a debate opinion?

[Jazzy]

Is it good enough to just state your opinion and leave it at that?

Should you state your opinion and also find back up for how you arrived at your opinion?

If you are stating certain things as fact, do you need to back that up or should the debaters just believe you because you know best?

I think I can answer without getting called names.

I try to express an Opinion somewhat based on verifiable facts and not just post a bunch of Feelings based on nothing in particular.

And I try to post working links to the sources of those facts, and not links to some blog where somebody else with no accountability or vetting has spouted off their opinions and feelings based on nothing more than their right to do so.
