Reply #70: Opinions Are Fucking Opinions When They Are Presented As Such

[Beetwasher]

You know when you say "In my opinion.." or "I think..." or "I believe.." not your idiotic assertions something IS some way because you SAY it IS. Opinions usually have qualifiers that identify them as opinions. Assertions ASSERT. There's NO qualifiers.

For example, you wrote:

"Now just a quick read of some of the posts will tell you that if the u button had been available it would been in the negative range."

That's not an opinion. That's a bold assertion that a "quick read" WILL tell ME something. There's no qualifier. There's nothing about YOU. It's a plain assertion w/ no room or indication that it's YOUR personal opinion. It's telling ME what I WILL know.

Now, if you had written "I think a quick read some of the posts would tell you..." then that would be an obvious opinion. But you are telling ME what I WILL be told by reading the posts, and I say, you are full of shit because they tell me no such thing.

You know damn well it wasn't an opinion. You were asserting something to make your point. That that specific post would not be on the greatest page if there was UR at the time. Again, I think that assertion is being pulled out of your ass.

Class dismissed.
