Indeed I can. And you can respond by shouting "you're wrong and i'm right!" at the top of your lungs all you want. But that alone doesn't make it so.
I do often provide data from the record to support my positions, but whatever.
I really try and maintain an even tone and avoid personal attacks, as the website specifically enjoins us to do.
You do often strike my funny bone though.

I'll concede that AT TIMES you do offer SOME data to support your positions, but that is by no means often. You regularly state your position then assume it to be irrefutable fact simply because you stated it. Simultaneously you refuse to even consider alternative arguments against that position, even in cases where the alternative argument is supported by evidence that is stronger than that supporting your claim.

I have no doubt you do give it an effort, but by no means do you live by it. To some degree, that is the nature of heated debates, though I would characterize you as quicker to step over that line than most.

Believe me, the feeling is mutual pertaining to you.
