GV,

In all due respect - and you deserve it.

And if you rebuke bambs for making a statement without any quantitative backup, the least you could do is provide some of your own to support
your opinion that his statements are asinine.


I find this a hard pill to swallow and have seen this same sentiment posted in the past many times. It assumes that a poster can post anything he/she likes without any factual basis. From there (as the sentiment goes) it becomes the responsibility of those with a differing opinion to post facts which debase the original post. I disagree with this.

I think it's appropriate for respondent to request facts from the originator which support the claim. If the original poster can't support their position then that poster should recant or at a minimum be discredited. In this case the respondent is potentially being discredited because they don't care to respond to a baseless/ridiculous post.

Does this make any sense?
