And you'd like to make that deflection really about some dill double standard. So a few notes on the dodge:
I haven't "used my opinion to prove a point." And it is not an "opinion" that proves a point--if "point" means the conclusion of a sound argument.
I once again asked you to support a claim with evidence other than your feelings. I.e., something other than "opinion."
Once again, you won't/can't do that.
People who see no difference between arguments and opinions respond as you do. As if all "opinions" are equal and everyone has a right to one. Then the demand for external evidence and rational support is unfair. Discourteous. A double standard. Ok for me to use my supported "opinion" (in a ten paragraph post organizing external evidence) but not for you to use your unsupported impressions.
I asked you to move beyond "opinion," turn your claim into a sound argument supported by something other than impressions.
But you wouldn't go there.
And that's what this is really about. Twice in two days now you've stood up for your right to accuse without support. Because you don't want to write a "ten paragraph post", i.e., show your work.
That's a lot of words to say, "It's ok when I do it".
