Have I said something wrong tsigprofit?

I merely pointed out that X is refusing to back up her claims..

Is not a moderate someone who weighs as many of the facts available in order to arrive at the proper conclusions?

I'm a moderate, or more appropriately, a pragmatic moderate. I believe in facts and documented evidence upon which I base my opinions. And I always seek to document and validate my opinions by asking people to provide a credible challenge to my logic.

Only extremists would be content to assert opinions that they could not provide credible evidence for..

And only extremists would take an "I told you so" attitude based upon merely engaging in an intellectual "coin-toss" as a basis for their opinion.

And I hope that's not something you're encouraging...

Sorry if you don't consider my views to be moderate.. I would like to think that moderates would like to see the world as it is, not as some kind of rhetorical fantasyworld.
