You wish. |
Yes, Russ, I wish you'd try to engage in a reasoned debate instead of simply getting on your high horse when someone doesn't want to take your opinion as fact without proof.

No Graham. What just about all of us realise is no matter what we say, Graham is 'always right'. I don't have to back up why I believe something or why I see something the way I do. Even if I did produce something, you'd still do your best to wriggle your way out of it simply because you don't agree with it.

Oh dear, Russ, you're getting desperate now.
Firstly, whatever you may claim, I do not, have not and never would claim that I am "always right".
Secondly, no, you don't have to back up anything you say, but if you want to have a reasoned debate, it would be a good idea to demonstrate why you consider your opinion to be valid, rather than just, it appears, insisting that *you* are right and that you don't have to prove it!
Thirdly, "even if you did produce something...", is a nice little cop out since you *haven't* produced anything!!!

Well it's like this - I really can't be bothered with you anymore. You cannot be reasoned with and you refuse to see things any way other than your own.

ROFLALALALAL!

So that is why I did that smilie - I'd rather beat my head against a brick wall that try and get a point through to you.

The other possible corollary is that you *haven't* made a valid point that is worth acknowledging, you've only stated opinions with nothing to back them up.
Of course without any evidence, that's difficult to prove, isn't it?!

Perhaps it's the way you demand a response and the way you take it upon yourself to try and debunk their opinions when they don't feel inclined to produce the level of 'evidence' you fiercely demand. |
If someone is going to post an opinion in a *PUBLIC FORUM* that I disagree with, I have every right to ask them to back it up with some facts and question the validity of their opinions.
Everyone has the right to an opinion, nobody, however, has the right to insist that their opinions not be challenged!
