The boundary between stating an opinion, passing judgement on others, and insulting them is rather fuzzy. Ideally we would all understand completely what effects our statements have on others, but sometimes our worldviews don't match. So, for example, one could say, "man, something really smells bad here. Oh, it's you." - is this an innocent expression of opinion (just commenting on one's own perception), passing judgement on others, or simply being insulting? Depends on context, one supposes. The context of Suzy's post was not exactly one asking for opinions on the morality of luxury purchases. Thus, while DancingSea thought he was stating a perfectly valid expression of his personal conclusions, he managed to come across quite differently to others.

Life has many perspectives
