If you want to be the proof police, go get every other poster at ENWorld to provide documentation to back up their personal opinion before they post it and THEN come see me about doing the same thing.

I think the problem is that you did not appear to be stating a personal opinion but an observation of fact.

For instance, if I said that I suspected Erik Mona might really like to see WotC license out the Greyhawk lines to a 3pp, that would be opinion. Just a gut feeling.

If I said that I had seen Erik Mona posting at numerous times his disdain for the world of Greyhawk, that would be a statement of observable fact and because it flies in the face of other people's experience, I would not be surprised to be called on it and asked to cite a specific instance in point of time.

Your statement that you had observed Paizo employees wishing ill upon WotC flies in the face of their numerous posts to the contrary and therefore you should not be surprised when you are asked to cite a specific instance.
