"you have no monopoly on establishing what is fact" I never said I did. I do think that I have a great methodology of determining real facts from perceived ones. My successful career as a compliance/fraud auditor helped hone those skills. Providing a judge & jury with one's personal opinions & baseless assertions disguised as fact never works. Never! Now exposing lies & deceit with cold hard fact seems to always work. No wonder most folks pled out rather than go to trial when they reviewed the evidence I was prepared to go to trial with ;-) Funny how those criminals also hated me with the same zeal & passion that I get from certain folks right here on SI. Feel free to draw your own conclusions from that tidbit. "only your tilted, twisted, wholly corrupted opinion corrupted by political agenda" Could you quote me verbatim & link me to a couple of my so called twisted, corrupted opinions, corrupted by political agendas? My POV is well documented on these threads. Certainly you can expose a few juicy examples. "you conclude, then formulate data to back it, while dismissing all contrary evidence" Sorry, that's wrong. I actually gather credible evidence about relevant issues, analyse it, then formulate informed conclusions & opinions later. I am also willing to change my POV as time & events unfold. That is a fact. "I will not engage you in lengthy argument and dig up data" What a shame. Citing irrefutable evidence is by far the best way to come to a reality based POV. Citing only one's personal POV proves nothing at all. It is after all, just your opinion. Linking to cold hard facts, now that's how you get to reality based, accurate assessments.
