Here is a clue on how to see these people. 10,000 posts.... 3 flags.... 5,000 stars.

For the people that make statements without providing sources, yes, that can be frustrating.

I really had to get that out, I guess its a bit upsetting when you actually author threads and then get the "non-called subject expert" to come in with lots of things that in their own eyes they feel they should be more vocal than the author.
Its one thing to disagree, or bring evidence, not just ohhh, I saw on the flinstones once, they were actually cars, their feet were necessary gears before gasoline was invented LOL, or I watched the smurfs and those were houses "shaped" like mushrooms but not real mushrooms. Or something that seriously should be a one post drive by that turns into a an 18 page unnecessary, unasked for novel.
Peace, NRE.

We each feel our arguments are valid that is what makes for a discussion if there is no or little evidence on a subject.

Yes there are a few on ATS that are notorious for doing this. I wonder how the author feels to check their post and see pages of arguments not even related to the thread anymore.
Sometimes there are no facts or little facts and peoples opinions can be rightly discussed also...why not.
