I have read all of them.
In all their 500 page epicness.
@Paddle I love the moles, it's easy to read them IMO.
@Cheddar Aww! You should have read Lord Brocktree! It's the best one!

lol.
Have you learned about opinions?
You don't have to directly state you are saying an opinion to say one.Stating it as a fact creates conflict, it's obvious that it's opinion. One of the ways to bully is to make things sound like fact, when's the last time a bully said "In my opinion, everyone hates you"? Stating an opinion as a fact will make people think you're trying to deny everyone else of their opinion.
I think everyone should get an opinion, but don't complain about people disagreeing when you post something negative in its thread.
I didn't hear you say, "in my opinion, stating it as a fact creates conflict."
so don't everyone jump on the hypocrite bandwagon now.

But that's not an opinion. Most times, it does creat conflict.

I never meant to create conflict. and that is an opinion, because in my opinion, stating an opinion to seem like a fact does not create conflict.

But look at it this way: you want to discuss something you really care about. Someone comes up to you and says "oh those are horrible they suck". Will you get a little mad because the person is using really snotty, know-it-all phrasing?

No
to be honest they seemed like another cliche fantasy
mixed with animals
which I couldn't stand
well at the time I could stand the cliche fantasy part
and a couple of animal stories were good but not many
so uh
what are they like?

Mice, squirrels, hedgehogs, moles, and hares running around with swords, fighting evil, but with a lot of messages about friendship.

I was just about to state that.
The majority of the time stating it as a fact when it is not actually causes conflict, I'm stating a fact as a fact. Saying "I don't like them" when you don't like them is a fact, saying "They're really bad" is an opinion, even if you're a huge fan of them.
Nobody's being cruel to you, they're just disagreeing, you disagreed with them, so don't randomly stroll into a thread about something, say it sucks then expect nobody to react.

The original Redwall book is really different from all the other books. It's up to you to decide whether that way is good or bad.

I have the original, I really liked it.
EDIT: I just got some more, the only thing I don't like is that somehow in every one I've read one of my favorite characters dies
