[QUOTE="Ariosto, post: 5156254, member: 80487"] Thank you for your feedback, El Mahdi. The circumstances of my birth gave me a brain not well wired for seeing such things just as most people do. Learning to anticipate such views, to think in ways strange to me, is an endless process of discovery. Why did you not object to the [i]other fellow's[/i] taking issue with [i]my[/i] "personal opinion" in the first place? How about his vague citing of the designer's "intent", his [i]implication[/i] that I was wrong because "none of that was clear" -- a claim for which he offered no support at all? How did [i]you[/i], yourself, infer the implication that the other fellow had not read the text in question? Was it not that you agreed that such a weight of evidence would indeed, by common sense, suggest that conclusion? Otherwise, I see no logic at all to your attribution of [i]your[/i] thoughts and words to me! Would it be "derogatory" of someone's contrary "opinion" to observe that in my experience the overwhelmingly vast majority of people who professed to have [i]read[/i] Enworld's advertisement agree that it indicates a community supporter subscription is only $3.00 per month? Would it be too much to expect that a claim of "uncertainty" as to whether the proprietor's intent was as advertised might reasonably be supported with some evidence, some indication as to [i]why[/i] one might have such doubt -- perhaps with some indication as to what the claimant believed to be the actual case? An [i]unsupported[/i] suggestion of some [i]unspecified[/i] other intent, raised as an objection to my post, adds [i]what[/i] to the conversation, apart from contentiousness for its own sake? Is such a claim really a personal opinion? Or is it a claim as to [i]fact[/i], an "opinion" of the sort meaningfully distinguished as [i]informed[/i] or not? [/QUOTE]
