At the end of the day, opinion are opinions.

Opinions can be bad though.

Whaaat? How can an opinion be bad? Its an opinion, its what someone thinks and feels about a topic or an issue. No one opinion is better than the other and no one opinion is good or bad.
For example, my opinion of this site is that there are too many fanboys and jackasses running around wild. Is it better than others? Nope. Is it good or bad? Neither, coz its just that, my opinion.

I'll try to explain my point (pretty philosophical, I learned that in college, pretty hard for me to explain since English isnt my native language). There are universal concepts suggested by philosophers which establish ethical argumentation and the duality between what is good or bad. An opinion CAN be bad if we call upon authority and the authority suggests so, per example. The argumentum ad potentiam or ad verecundiam consists in giving more credit to a statement according to its origin rather than its content. In that particular case, the opinion is that "The reviewer Gordon Bryant made a bad and unfair review to Dead Space 3". This is an opinion, but is it a good one? There is this long reasonal thinking and ethical pattern to confirm or infirm the statement, but that doesn't mean it is good or valid from the groundup. In the end, everything depends on the type or argumentation and the valid points raised following those very true philosophical statements.
An opinion is NOT something relative to the inner feelings or someone. It is a clear reasoning that comes from your mind, not from your heart. There is a slight difference between "I love Badgenome" and "Badgenome is a pretty witty user that somehow manages to top Rol's sarcasm abilities". The first is a taste, the second is a subjective value judgement. Do you understand my point?
