Oh dear. Let's see if I can make this simple enough even for you to understand.
You're right Lucy. My calling you a "Nutter" is an opinion.
My saying that you stood me up on a business deal, without bothering to inform me that you were doing so, is a statement of fact.
That you keep coming back at me and making me repeat that fact, over and over, is also a fact.
On the other hand, if I were to describe you as a "Fat stokie prossie with an unjustified attitude of entitlement" it would be a mixture of fact and opinion. Fat stokie prossie: fact, unjustified sense of entitlement: opinion.
Facts and opinions.
That you have stated, very clearly, on this forum that you have seen eight clients a day for eight years since my non-visit to you is a plain and simple fact.
My thinking that you are a lying fu*kwit for saying it, is just an opinion.
Assuming I am wrong and this is true .... and assuming that all these clients were all the shorter, (cheaper), 30 minute appointments. Assuming that you only work a five day week, and assuming that you took six weeks holiday a year ... If it were true ... It would also be a fact that you earned £832,200 gross during that period. (If they were all the full hour, £1.67 million).
My belief that your tax returns would not reflect that, is just an opinion.
That the claim was made by you, personally, and that it is linked to a profile with a face photograph of you and a telephone number registered to you is a fact.
Whether or not your own words could be held against you as evidence, could be an opinion, or a fact, we wouldn't know which until the matter were determined by a judge and/or a jury.
That this is a public forum, on the internet, which is open to all, including the HMRC is a fact.
That you are dumb as a bag of hammers, for saying that in the first place, is a just an opinion. Although, again, I do feel that your general behaviour thus far has gone a long way to make that opinion quite a reasonable one.
Your opinion that I have little consideration for others, flies in the face of the fact that I do help others, often, and that this is clearly demonstrated right here on this forum, where I contribute, regularly, to the wellbeing of other punters.
What, in my opinion, you probably meant to say is that I have little consideration for your you or your whining. (Which of course is actually a hypothetical opinion ... my opinion of what your opinion might be ... yet to be substantiated or refuted), and while your holding that opinion would have an element of truth about it, it is not actually, in itself, a fact.
Incidentally, your inability to differentiate between your desire to earn money from wanking more men than you currently attract, and "the general good", adds weight to my opinion that you have an unjustified attitude of entitlement. Once again though, that is just my opinion.
It is a fact though, that you do have a business engaged here.
I on the other hand do not. This too is a fact.
It is a fact that your washing all this dirty linen in public draws attention to yourself in a less than positive manner, (men looking for a fat stokie to wank them begin to see you as more trouble than you're worth), and is therefore bad publicity for you, and so is probably more likely, on balance, to lose you more clients than it gains you.
It is my opinion that the more that people like you, (prossies), argue with people like me, (punters), on this forum, the more other users here, (also punters), look increasingly carefully for other problems with you. (For instance, the camera question raised by hairymonster).
It is my opinion, and probably a fact, that you have quite a bit to lose from this discussion.
It is a fact that I have little or nothing at all to lose from it.
It is a fact that I have pointed that disparity out to you on more than one occasion and I have suggested that you to stop doing it to yourself, and in doing so, once again shown that I do have consideration for others, (including you - see told you it wasn't an actual fact that I had no consideration for you).
It is a fact that it is you, not I, that is prolonging this discussion.
It was, and still is my opinion that you should cut your losses and stop.
It is a fact that you can.... and also perversely my opinion that I am happy that you should .... continue to express whatever dumb assed views that may be looking for something to connect with in that chubby little head of yours, and chose not to take my advice. I have a both a keyboard and a sense of humour. (See told you that my not really caring about you did have an element of truth about it after all).
It is both a fact and my opinion that any potential punter here is fully able and entitled to completely disregard anything that I or anyone else says about your being a utter waste of time, pies and money and then to stupidly go ahead throw their hard earned cash away on you. (Always assuming that you can actually be arsed to show up to the appointment and take the cash, given that you are unreliable as well as being a very rich lady who probably doesn't need the money).
So the thing is, it's always about both facts and opinions.
Your move, Hotlips.
