>>And how is this statement demonstrable fact? You don't have an IMHO anywhere and I want sources and proof that this statement is demonstrable fact. You seem to be a lot like our congress - they want to pass laws that don't apply to them (BTW, this is demonstrable fact - see congressional exemptions from the ACA).
"Seems to me" is equivalent to IMHO. For the rest, show me the parts you claim not to be demonstrable fact and I'll Google it for you, or explain the language constructs that prevent it being interpreted as an absolute claim about something I couldn't possibly know. IOW it seems to me you're taking something out of context just to build an attack post. Not that interesting I'm afraid.
>>The idea that statements of opinion are inappropriate in a chatter forum is absurd (and, yes, that is my opinion).
The only person discussing that idea is you AFAICS.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
