We are ALL free to express our opinions.....opinions that are woven by facts and then shared, NOT with the ultimate goal to insult or embarrass or attack another poster and what their opinion is, but to perhaps debate and educate each other, presenting a different angle or different opinion on a topic. Everyone here is open to having their own thoughts or opinions, challenged or even questioned, but that does NOT include personal attacks and name calling another poster. You continued in a second attack, paraphrasing, "No, you are not sure....". In summation, you have, in two sentences, attacked, insulted, and implied that poster is "stupid" and has no valid "certainitties" in her opinions. I am not certain you are the best source to judge that poster's frame of references or her parameters on her knowledge base. Just because you do not agree with her certainties, does not invalidate her or her opinions. or make them incorrect. It just puts YOU in disagreement.
