I understand the sentiment, and in a way your frustration, but I disagree. IMO, placing a CYP post and continuing to be ambiguous in your ETI statements is no substitute for clarity while posting. Simply seperate speculation from fact, and ATM from mainstream, and I don't see the problem. I don't see this post/thread as a valid cover for continued posting in the same style. It needs to be differentiated per post, in every post. I think Moose sums it up nicely:

"The problem, A.DIM, is your sloppy use of language. You can't say "It is certain that" and claim that's an opinion. It's an assertion of fact. Assertions of fact carry certain evidentiary responsibilities. Responsibilities you're not meeting (and in many cases, cannot possibly meet).

So yes, you should say "I think" and "IMO" where you're indicating a personal preference, opinion, interpretation, etc. When stating fact, you should provide evidence. You should say what you mean as clearly as you can. Language is important, A.DIM. Communication skills on a written medium such as the Internet are everything."
