We started with opinons, then moved on to claiming our opinions as fact (which is normal) and then challenging, asked each other for further proof - is that not right?
so speaking for me, what came into question was when you wanted your opinion accepted by me as uneqivocal fact - when it was validated with another personal opinion instead of facts, as the basis
and Quiche, had you said to me "I like the media as it is and I don't care if it factual or not" - then ok, fine, there's nothing there to discuss, it's your media choice, your opinion -
and as for your opinion, I would be the very first to say you are wholey entitled to it and if it never concurs with mine?
it's not a problem for me - as I think differing opinions make for the most interesting discussions
but when you then asked me to back up my opinion with facts, I offered what I had - so I am not certain how that was construed as anything but complying and answering the challenge?
and I am more than willing to look at the opinions I hold - not based another unsubstantiated opinion!
however, let me offer my apologies if you felt attacked for that was not the case - as it was merely your opinion I challenging - :)
