""That's opinion based""

Many people, especially Ant, think that simply saying "That's clearly opinion based" makes anything that has been said untrue.

I hav an opinion, and I believe it to be right. I believe that I have the right to express that opinion.

If you don't agree with what I, or anybody else says then don't simply tell me that that is my opinion, I know it is, tell me what you believe instead.

If it weren't for opinions, and opinion based posts these forums would be very dull.

Unlike me.

Punks.

I think the difference is that your opinions are well-expressed and rarely (if ever) worded in a confrontational "I'm right, so there" manner.

The problem with the >'s is that you can't always tell who was writing what.

I use the quote button a lot so people know what I'm replying to, especially if the initial post was written a while ago.

Qwerty. And don't you forget it.

No it's just really irritating when people don't lay out their replies correctly, and instead of just copying the text you want with your mouse, or even deleting all the >'s, you continue to just click the button and make it crappy for the rest of us. It's a bit like not using paragraphs.

That's opinion based.

Ant, don't reply quoting. :0)

And Meka, usually I spot when you're being biased on purpose, and considering I'm a Ninty anyway, it's unlikely for me to say anything.

And yeah, see it all the time... using "Well. That's just your opinion." used as an insult. Sickening.

Yes, many find your muscular posture highly frightening.

Being more biased means more fun!






Shouldn't that

Nah, I don't think so.

and more punctuation

otherwise the sentence just gets too hard to read and it ends up being read in a monotone voice which makes the reader think of cylons or k9 or stephen hawkins and i'm finding this physically difficult to type without any punctuation
