Not with the "it's just my opinion" defense. You wrote: "But let's look at how this really unfolded..."
Repeating: "But let's look at how this really unfolded."
Not "IMO what happened." but rather "how this really unfolded."
That statement moved it out "this is just my humble opinion, no one is allowed to disagree" and into "I'm saying this is how the world is - if you disagree you are wrong."

I'd just like to say that when I insult someone I don't put a little "smily" after it. I think its slimey.

I explicitly stated that it was what I believed your words revealed about your acutal state of mind.

Guess what - you can even offend people who _do_ know what you're talking about!

Yeah, it could be. So? Can you admit that you might _not_ have a valid point?

Are you a telepath? Maybe I'm just bloody brilliant, eh?

And is that _all_? You just want to vent? How about putting a little disclaimer at the beginning of your posts: "WARNING - VENTING. Ignore any statements that appear to be arguments, they are opinions or religious beliefs."

My GOD! You are a telepath! Or just wrong. ...... I'll have to vote "wrong."

If I had known you were just here to "bi+ch" I probably would have just ignored you. Too late now.

You really don't know!?
And remember - you didn't start your Firaxis chonology with "This is just my opinion, I'm just bi+ching here." But instead with "...how it really unfolded."
Sorry, I'm not a telepath - I have to go by what your actually write.

Me too - but you said it not, me. You seem to keep overlooking words such as "excessive."

Look, either you brought it up because that's what you thought SR (or whoever looked up the words) was doing, or it was irrelevent. Which? Was it an accusation, or just a random thought? Were you being insulting, or stupid? I'll leave the choice to you.

Is there a mouth haning open in shock smilie? You really _don't_ know the differences between "opinion", "taste", "fact", and "speculation", do you? Or how to weigh various levels of certainty. Ignore list time. Sorry to have taken up your time.
