Stick to facts and logical calculations, when addressing the masses, who aren't your personal penpal. No matter how you relay that information, facts are empirical and can't be subjective.

Paragraph A) seems to imply that opinions and experiences can be viewed as a "fact" but then this would contradict your statement in paragraph B) that facts are empirical and can’t be subjective. If you are wondering how? Opinions and experiences are subjective.

Okay, I should have elaborated, although I thought it was grammatically clear and that you'd fall asleep reading it. The fact, that I was referring to in the first quote, is the fact that they are only opinions, and not necessarily factual. I understand it may be a mouthful to comprehend at first glance, but I basically paraphrased you, although I did not tweak your sentence in any manner; I'm surprised you'd misunderstand your own points.

At first you want the masses to speak in facts and logical calculations. Then you agree that experiences, feelings, etc (which are subjective) are good to share. You can't have it both ways.

I don't think you're mad..just bull headed! heh. Seriously, I am laid back as you might have seen on other posts but occasionally I get into a more formal "tone". This is as much a credit to the person I am communicating with and their perceived level of intelligence and comprehension as it is to MY occasional bull headed behavior nature.

Don't flatter yourself babe.
