alt Hacker News> I very much have an opinion on the subject and never claimed otherwise
Of course you do. That’s why I said something. Your omission is the problem, you intentionally didn’t say anything.
> What makes you think that this is something I’m obscuring?
This entire comment chain explains why I think that I don’t know why we’re playing games here - just be straight with people out the gate. Opacity doesn’t facilitate conversation. I know you understand what I’m talking about and I won’t belabor the point further.

In what way was I being opaque? I have no obligation to say “Give me evidence (btw I disagree with you)” lol.
I’m sorry that asking your side to support its claims is so offensive to you. I can’t say I relate to this mindset. It’s completely foreign to me.
Ah, I see, you have an emotional / personal investment in this topic. That’s why my harmless request for evidence offends you.
I won’t engage further then because it won’t be productive. I’ll continue to call out baseless claims of course, but I don’t think there’s any amount of argumentation or evidence that could convince you since you arrived at your position via feeling - proof or citations are just window dressing.
