And thus we have here evidence for the belief and theory that every thread on this board sooner or later gets around to being about same-sex "marriage."

 

That and global warming. :rolleyes:

Well, if there is an utter refusal either to provide the required references or to admit that one cannot do so, I can see where the moderating team might have a problem with that.

 

Bottom line: I don't see anything wrong with fostering a discussion environment that requires some good-faith effort and a degree of rigor to see that expressions are attended by substance, even in a comparatively informal forum such as this.

 

On issues of fact, I wholeheartedly agree.  On obvious personal observations and opinions, it's just silly.

Well, the "personal observations and opinions" often masquerade as established or verifiable fact. When they do, I don't see anything wrong with pointing it out.

 

When challenged, one can simply say, "Well, that's my perception" or "That's my opinion." That typically suffices.

I don't see that I demanded proof so much as expressed reasoned skepticism and perhaps sought clarification. Justifiably so, as it turned out.

 

But you seem to disapprove of that, as though it were wrong to do so. That strikes me as a tad weird.

For the record while you and I often disagree I have no issue with your initial challenge of my post.  I will try to do better at being more specific in the future.

I think one post covering how you feel about ex Brother Waterman could have done it. Five or six one Liner posts....a bit of an overkill.

You will catch up to my count pretty quickly this way...

you sure he's not trying to get up to 19,000?

Wait...19,000?

That is nothing...check out mine.

So I sorted members by highest post count.

You are tops the list after three moderators. Don't know how they got into the millions. Then I scrolled down the list and saw a ton of familiar names and some not so familiar until I got to mine on page 7. I was just below one I never had heard of and just above Brant Gardner. of course just a few months ago I had like 500, posting pretty infrequently for years. Then one day months ago I caught fire. Anyway, it's been interesting.
