Here's a question:

When posting about a personal experience one has had in the 'Off-topic Babbling' forum, is 'substantiation' required for that experience, if the experience under discussion is unrelated to space and astronomy, doesn't debunk any scientific theories, and isn't part of a conspiracy theory?

For example, if one is posting about experiencing tardy service in a restaurant, should one have to post 'substantiating evidence' for said 'claim' if asked for it by a BAUT member posting on your thread?

I'm only asking for my own clarification. I'll go with whatever the moderators say is correct.
