(11,437 posts)It is not the OP who defines "more objective reality" (and BTW, flexibility is inherent in the term itself), it is reason that defines it. I am totally in favor of all varieties of opinion, even unreasonable ones or the ones that express unorthodox views of reality. I must, however, insist on my right to call these views out. Because... discussion board! Duh!
Let me get this straight: you are not suggesting that certain unreasonable views expressed on Fox News, for instance, should not be challenged as unreasonable, and that they fall within the scope of the definition of "more objective reality", do you? By the same token, are you suggesting that opinions expressed on any discussion board all fall within the definition of a "more objective reality" simply because they have been posted on a discussion board?
Somehow, I don't think "silly argument" means what you think it means.
