Yes. I will quite happily tell you. It is all bound up with the hidden, veiled intent behind the way such information is sought. All people can sense when someone else is trying to bull-doze them with the way the words are flying at them. Many are ill-equipped to respond to such verbal assaults, and thus, that is the reason writers are to be valued by a society. A society needs its writers, for they have developed that necessary insight for shedding light on a situation. And one does not have to be a rocket scientist to realize the truth in that one. Just think about the books, newspaper articles, & magazines you've read and how you have come away from a read with enlightenment regarding whatever was necessary to learn about...

[Mr. Silverback]

Let me get this straight: Are you saying you get to post assertions and no one has the right to ask you for supporting evidence? And are you actually saying that we writers have less of a burden to evidentiary support than others?

Wonderful logic.

All hail the writers! Dare not they be questioned!!
