i don't even know why you responded i got no beef with, you. you are one of the few (very few), people worth discussing anything on this site.
Thank you.
I responded because I was the person who asked to see the supporting evidence, thus sparking the row-ette about whether or not I should have done so. So when you wrote this ...
like a broken record around here. if you had any skillz at debating you would provide evidence to refute an unsupported claim, rather than using the evc cop-out and ask for supporting evidence. attacking a claim and the evidence is a weak-sauce argument, using by posters who can't really come up with anything on their own to refute something.
... if that wasn't meant to apply to me, it really doesn't apply to anyone else on this thread either.

Let me get this straight.
This oughta be rich
Poster 1
Posts assertions with no evidence.
Therefore, excellent debater.
Nope not even close, way off. I said nothing about the lack of information making one good at anything that is your twisted logic not mine.
Poster 2
Asks for evidence for the assertion.
Therefore, lazy.
There is never a problem about asking a question, but demanding evidence or else its automatically incorrect, is much different.
Sounds like Bizarro World to me.
That is because it is your strawman rather than anything I have stated (as you always do).
So in your crazy world it is incumbent upon people to show an unevidenced assertion is false before the asserter has to show any evidence at all for the assertion?
No not at all. After seeing how you spin things though, I doubt I could explain it too you.

sorry for being murky, that was not directed at you.
Here someone stated there was evidence, and then you asked to see it, this is completely different.
my complaint is the cop out.
OP makes a point.
poster 1 states and opinion.
poster 2 quotes them (poster 1) and says give me evidence or you are wrong.
and to make matters worse poster 2 is a usually one specific person, who's only contribution to many threads is asking for evidence, no thought's no opinions, just some droid/robot sounding broken record, and then all the other non-thinkers jump on the droid's bandwagon. I was just making an observation about another hilarity of this forum.
its like a grade school playground around here.
look I am at work posting a couple posts here and there in the COFFEE HOUSE. I do not have the time to research why and link a ton of data on a site, where such data will not be read or denied as biased or something else immediately anyway. I post here in the coffee house because I thought it was implied that this is the casual section of EvC. If I am so wrong then you do the work, and show me with your data. There are plenty of serious forums here for that sort of thing. I just come in 3-4 times a week scan the site in 5min, make a post or two, and then go back to work. I go no problem being wrong (I am playing devils advocate probably 75% of the time anyway), but show me or stfu about data on some BS coffee house topic.
