: ...is just an opinion.
This would be to assume that no factual information could be found here. That's brilliant. A board full of critics and rumor mongers, just what you need.
: I mean you always have to take things people say with a grain of salt, whether it's on an internet message board, or in person. No one knows everything, but we pretty much all talk like we do.
And, if you believe in your opinions you should. Whether you believe in your opinions or not, I don't know. I probably wouldn't if I was you.
: Or, alternately, we could all just have a little disclaimer at the beginning of our posts stating "This is all pure opinion. I know shit." Or some such. Kinda like what you did at the beginning of Dogma, ya know?
Know, I don't. I wasn't there. Alternately, disclaiming what I say before I say it defeats the purpose of saying it. Why have an opinion then?

: who isn't afraid to admit that she's wrong, a lot!
That's not the point here T. The point is, you need to know how to frame both opinions and criticism so that you don't offend people. It's still Kevin's board. And I'm sure we are all just giving Ben a headache. That's an opinion by the way.
