No, it is a fact. Those looking for evidence of it should read the thread here:

To see that you started with a flawed proposition, attempted to rely upon bogus statistics, faulty logic, and personal anecdotal evidence to back up your position, and reacted as if it was a personal attack when people pointed out how wrong you were. You just kept digging the hole deeper and deeper the more errors in your logic were pointed out to you. I would highly encourage a re-reading of the thread, and you'll see just what a fool you made of yourself; everyone else saw, for sure.
Quote:The fact remains that nobody makes these wild accusations and 'statements of fact" more than you do and probably few members back them up less than you do.
This is a fact, hmm? You have evidence, or some sort of link, to wild accusations that I make 'more than anyone?' Even in the midst of a discussion about fact/opinion, you go back to labelling things as facts without providing any evidence of it.
Quote:And based on your own statement, you don't feel any compulsion to do so.
I don't feel any compulsion to do anything at all on A2K. I do what I like on A2K. If people feel that my arguments are lacking because I haven't linked to back them up with evidence, then they are perfectly correct to challenge me to provide evidence. If I cannot do so, I say so; this is one of the major differences between you and I, fox; you are unable to admit that your anecdotal experiences don't amount to squat in terms of argument.
Quote:I recommend that all members maintain a level of civility and allow reasonable discussion pertinent to a topic to proceed.
By 'level of civility' you of course mean 'not pointing out how colossaly wrong I am, over and over, allowing me to maintain the fantasy that I belong in these discussions.' Sorry, I expect others to point out when I am wrong, you should expect the same. Also, an adult would be able to tell the difference between an attack on one's logic and position and an attack on one's self, a skill which you clearly lack.
Quote:Other than that, I don't know what else to do other than adhere to and/or resume my personal policy of not feeding the trolls, not arguing with idiots, and not engaging in exercises of futility.
It doesn't matter to me, or anyone else, what policies you decide or don't decide to pursue. I'll still point out every time that you are incorrect, every time I feel like doing so. You can answer or not answer as you see fit, of course, but it won't change the fact that someone is addressing your continual lapses in logic, judgement, and intelligence.
