I speak only for myself here...

Your opinion/beliefs are not facts. This is true for everyone. They can be facts for you, but not necessarily otherwise. So my issue is that you dont(cant?wont?) see why people argue you as a believer instead of arguing your points as facts. Which is self explanatory.

You are asking people a question, people have told you their opinion in a way i think everyone else agrees is understandable, your not agreeing with the answer and posing arguments at the same time you claim they dont address the actual question with a simple answer... I see an error there... and that you would move on if they did.

You are in an argument claiming beliefs as your facts asking people not to argue with "you" but instead your "facts", even after your saying they arent answering your question. In a belief based argument you are as relevant as your facts since they are yours, and in this case, yours alone.

As I see it, you claim your beliefs as facts and as separate from you and yet acting like you cant understand why others dont acknowledge them as facts, all the WHILE you argue their facts as not being facts because they dont mesh with your beliefs(facts) and discarding them because its obvious they have "no real response to the substance of the argument". You have created a matrix of discussion and argument that it is impossible to be anything but you or someone who agrees with you in, so of course that supports your belief even further. "They must be scared to address my belief with any concrete proof (which i can easily dispel as untrue via my belief when they do, which they do) so this means I am certainly right." I call this the republican ring of truth. It can be whatever, change at any time, and morph at will and always be right because it can even dispel hard evidence, data, etc with beliefs and vague interpretations.

Again... thats how people argue it. Like that is what it is, because it is. You are your beliefs because your the sole believer. To argue your "facts" is to argue your "belief" and thusly "you".
