It isn't your *having* the contrary opinion, but mayhap the way or time in which it was expressed.

Urban legend: Some blowhard English professor is holding forth on negations, explaining that an affirmative followed by a negative makes a negative, a negative followed by an affirmative is also a negative, and that two negatives make an affirmation, but that it is absolutely impossible for two affirmatives to yield a negative.

Just then a voice pipes out from the back of the lecture hall:

"Yeah, *right*."

Have always loved that example. LOL.

I don't think the timing and placement of my comment was what drew the fire. I think it was the mere fact that i expressed my skepticism at all.

I've gotten the same reaction on every Q thread I've posted on.
