   Your "differing opinion," of course, being baseless theories and allegations,   
   sometimes using "psychics" and your "imagination" as sources. And you want   
   those appreciated but not challenged.

   That's not an accurate comparison. If you somehow knew for certain that the   
   employee was lying, or if the employee said that the reason they had no onion   
   rings was because a herd of unicorns stampeded through the restaurant and ate   
   them all, you might ask for clarification.   
      
    AT>  JT>  AT> I'm not down with it. And links to webpages

    AT>  JT> They can, if the link contains facts and data disproving your baseles

    AT> A web page is as capable of containing facts as I am at doing the dishes.   
      
   That's why you must consider the source of the data on the web page. For   
   example, if the webpage is citing "psychics" and its author's "imagination"   
   as sources, then it's probably not legit.
