Evidence? Jeez, we’re not in court, its just open discussion. Lighten up, Frances.
If you are opining in your statements please say so.
When I was receiving my substandard Southeastern Conference education, if I made an assertion about something I believed, I had to give two pieces of evidence to support the argument or the paper would come back with a big, red “F” on it.
I learned that lesson the hard way. And I still make a point of writing “IMHO” if I don’t have any evidence, just “feelings.” And I really try to leave “feelings” politics to the liberals. And Ivy League graduates.
