I've learned that people's opinions are now assertions of fact. As assertions of fact, they are either right or wrong, truthful or intentionally decitful (lies). At the end of the day, you either had a right opinion, or you lied. You have Robeson to thank for that. The problem, Brain, is that you don't learn when to express your opinon AS an opinion, and when to express something as an assertion. Let me put it another way: When a statement reads as a fact, with no qualifiers like "I think" or "IMHO" or such most people read it that the writer is stating a fact. A person can hold whatever opinions they like. That does not mean all opinions are equally valid. A person's opinions can be based on true facts and valid logic, or not. Doesn't make the person a liar, just a poor thinker. You STATED that "...the role of the ARES is overblown..", yet the very day you did it there were no less than three new items on various sites about third-party agencies lauding ARES volunteers. You then also STATED that ARES will not be able to respond because, allegedly, too many of the members are over extended on commitments. I've asked you over and over to provide some substantiation of those comments, but you simply dodge the questions. So either way you look at it, you're wrong. You are either so blissfully ignorant of the enviroment you're in that it manifests as "stupid", or you're intentionally being deceitful, in which case you're the liar I have claimed you to be. There's a third possibility, Steve: That statement could simply be an opinion. The person starting it has chosen not to back up that opinion with facts. Doesn't make them a liar. It does show that they can't back up their opinion with facts, that's all. 73 de Jim, N2EY |
