There is no difference. You are not your opinion. Calling your opinion wrong, or your reasoning process invalid, does not constitute a personal attack. It might be undiplomatic or disrespectful, but there is no blanket ban on undiplomatic or disrespectful language, if only because defining this would be problematic.
