It's easy, for me. Firstly, you don't assume that what you think, others think. Then, like I did, you just say, for me, it is...say... good to eat apples...fun to surf, best to have 8 hours sleep... or whatever.
Also if you'd taken the sentence in the context of the whole post, as well as the question the post was directed at, instead of isolating it and applying assumptions and intentions, (a technique often employed by the press), its meaning would be much more obvious.
