3 Very Large Objects In Space Flying To Earth (and 'the truth')

[zenmaster]

Has nothing to do at all with confusing fact for opinion. Also has nothing to do with being concise or with being either right or wrong.

Didn't this whole thing come about with Ashim's post expressing an opinion, which was not denoted as an opinion?

No. Although it can be helpful to do so.

In the other thread where you and Ali are talking about the same subject, you said "But there can be an intention behind the communication, irrespective of gender bias. If a reader misinterprets or does not sufficiently understand some text, it is certainly appropriate to ask for clarification. We all understand that language is imperfect and information can always be related again in a different way. Such requests may have nothing to do with tunnel vision.


If we do not allow for clarification, then we presume that everyone knows the perspective of the writer or that the opinion of the writer does not matter or that the understanding of the reader does not matter."

[quote='Aaron' pid='24501' dateline='1292172637']I completely agree with that. And I believe your original intention with this thread was to ask for clarification on Ashim's vague communication. So the question is, how did that turn into what we see here, which is more mountainous than molehillish?

It appears there was a misunderstanding regarding what can be reasonably expected to be shared when asked vs honesty in claims. I was a bit incredulous about the latter and that somehow got misinterpreted as the former.
