You seem to have struck a loop, you are asking that the correction "Correction: That should say it's your opinion" should be "In my opinion, you should say it's your opinion".

Your issue is that they claimed objectivity when they called the poster subjective, which seems like an endless rabbithole to go down, since it is only your subjective opinion that they should do so.

You present my comment as criticism, but you left out important context. I did not respond directly to "Correction:" but to a comment by sundarurfriend that seemed to be acknowledging that "correction" did not play the desired conversational role, even as it represented an attempt to be less confrontational than "FTFY". My comment was friendly suggestion of alternatives, along with some measure of analysis as to what went wrong.

The issue I was pointing to was not subjectivity vs objectivity at all. I was pointing out that the way language is used often doesn't square up neatly to a narrow semantic analysis, and that acknowledging the intent of the communication even when you are moving to a more explicit, semantically-oriented regime might help sundarurfriend achieve more of the kind of conversational outcomes that I understand them to prefer.
