--- Quote from: Böltster on December 08, 2011, 09:43:43 PM ---The point is, if it's a majority opinion then it's very likely that he's a moron --- End quote --- In general, yes. However Aces is right in saying that "majority opinions are not necessarily fact" and in retrospect I wish I could retract my previous statement. If majority opinions were fact then dihydrogen monoxide would be banned after that false scare. |

For what it's worth I'm sorry. I hope this doesn't count as pleading for sympathy... |
