With any form of debate, it is very important that proof is used, and not personal opinion.
Proof is something that can be verified by official sources. Proof is something that is true. Proof is something that has been tested, researched, and found to be accurate.
Personal opinion is what a person believes. Personal opinion is something that doesn't rely on proof.
When we use sources and references in our debates here at ATS, it is important that we don't slip down the slope towards personal opinion. The Internet is full of opinion, and it often masks itself as proof.
For a topic such as an Alien Abduction, or the Loch Ness Monster, it can be excused if people, when they offer sources or references, use the type that aren't very reputable.
When it comes to more serious topics, such as Mass Shootings or Politics, it cannot be stressed enough that proper sources and references must be used. If a website is offered as proof, it has to be checked out first. As I stated, most of the Internet is personal opinion.
Please, for the sake of the board, use appropriate references. Using references that can be checked and verified halts the need for arguments over opinion.

Funny that, as the whole of YOUR post is opinion
What's an 'official' source?
What's a 'proper' source?
And you mention these in relation to mass shootings?
When we know tha almost any source is more reliable than the 'official'.
Haha.
Bleeeeep

A lot of threads are based on opinions and beliefs. If we had undeniable proof of the topics on ATS we wouldn't necessarily have to discus them. I is a conspiracy site, therefore proof is always hard to come by for most of the topics discussed here.
