Feel free to disagree with my opinion. Just don't try to invalidate them. You have your opinion. I have mine. Neither are facts.

It seems I'm often correcting flawed pattern of reasonings. You and Wellfed are mired in logical fallacy ... so much so that having a rational conversation with either of you is challenging. Perhaps reading up on fallacy will help you two formulate better arguments: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_fallacy

"Just don't try to invalidate [my opinions]." Very well, in the future I shall try never do anything to abate, annul, counteract, counterbalance, discredit, disqualify, impair, negate, neutralize, nullify, offset, overrule, refute, undermine, undo, or weaken your opinions. Heaven forbid one should want to do anything like that! Because your opinions are virtually writ in gold script, no denying that.

clark, with the aid of a thesaurus for "invalidate"

  More insturctional stuff:
  When defining a word, one employs a dictionary, not a thesaurus. To invalidate means to make invalid (being without foundation or force in fact, truth, or law ).
  
  I'm sorry if being bound by reason and definition hampers your style.
  - "When defining a word, one employs a dictionary." Thanks, Teach. But who used the word "define"? By golly... - clarkjohnsen 12:53:45 07/23/07 (0)
    ...it was you! You scamp.
    
    Good try, no cigar.
