Shawn continues to believe that what he spews is fact, apparently totally unaware of what constitutes an opinion. Shawn, again, just because YOU believe something does not necessarily nor automatically make it factual.
I know very well the difference between opinion and fact. Do you understand that my opinions are based upon the facts?
I think that would be a difficult admission for most here, since it would likely shatter the notion that anyone might be able to argue effectively against what I've said.
I already believe that's a foregone conclusion anyway, but sheer stubbornness is likely to keep even those without a sound argument from giving up.
Irony is a hard one to pin down (probably the hardest), but you've come very close. A person whose username is a bastardization of Confucius (which you spelled wrong by the way), who was probably the godfather of anti-factual paradoxical insight (if a thing could actually be said to exist), is railing about not only their absolute grasp of the notion of a fact but its epistemological relation to opinion.
The combination of those things are just the tip of the iceberg which shows that you have no clue what you're talking about.
Irony isn't hard to pin down at all. See the end of this post.
It's so commonplace to launch a ridiculous personal attack when you know you have no real argument. I consider that a compliment to me that you chose to do so.
However, doing so out of sheer ignorance in a reference to someone's username - especially when you have no idea how or why they selected it - completely destroys any credibility you might have gained with a real argument.
Back to irony. You suggesting I don't know what I'm talking about after taking the action I just described pins that irony down very well.
