Now you want to claim that you didnt mistake my opinion for fact and that you didn't demand proof. That is dishonest
What? Where did I claim I didn't mistake your opinion for fact? I absolutely thought you were trying to state a fact, not an opinion, by the tone of your post. ONCE you stated clearly otherwise that you were making an opinionated statement, not one of fact, I didn't ask you to "prove" anything. See post #133, my response to you after you finally clarified that your statement was one of opinion and not of fact.
Please, quote the point whre I stated that I didn't mistake your opinion for fact originally?
I stated my opinion...you mistook that as if I was stating an unquestionable fact and asked me for proof...I immedietely, upon your requets for proof, clarified my position was an opinion and noted my error in giving the wrong impressoin.
You stated your opinion...I mistook that as fact and asked for proof...you then immedietely proceeded to suggest I acted dishonestly in my first post, you responded to my request for proof of your assertion by claiming you had provided it (hardly something that suggest you were disagreeing with my notion you were claiming a fact), you then proceed to say nothing about your claim again while ignoring my statement regarding clarification of my opinion and demanding "proof", you then stated AGAIN that I was ignoring the "facts" with regards to the issue (note again, however could I have been confused you were just stating an opinion), made a sarcastic post about needing proof (twice), and then FINALLY admitted that it was simply your opinion.....at which point I no longer asked for proof.
So lets look at the difference here.
I made a post. You misread it as me stating an undisputable fact and not voicing my opinion and made a post asking for proof. I then immiedetely clarified for you my intent and meaning behind my words and stated my error in giving a false impressoin. On the flip side, I misread you and made a post asking for proof. You then proceeded to make SIX direct posts responding to me, one of which claiming you provided proof to back up what I claimed you were saying as fact and one claiming I was refusing to acknowledge your FACTS, before you
finally clarified your statement was your opinion.
No Sangha, I did not expect a higher burden of proof then I expected of myself. I asked you for proof when it seemed to me you were stating a fact, which continued for multiple posts as you continued to make statements suggesting that's indeed what you were doing and failing to clarify my statements regarding your intent, until such a point that you finally clarified yourself. And at that point I treated it the same as I treat my own burden when I give opinion.
The ONLY difference was not one regarding the burden of truth, but rather the point in which each of us acknowledged the other persons mistaken understanding and informed them of the intent behind their statements. I did it the post immedietely following the evidence of your misunderstanding. You did it six posts later, after you had continued to suggest you were presenting "facts".
