Is this 'sarcasm'?
If no, then what is this last sentence referring to, EXACTLY? It is CERTAINLY NOT true, AT ALL.
Also, could this forum be for ANY other 'thing'?
What do you mean by 'ad hominem' here?
To me, people can turn to 'ad hominem' for OTHER reasons than just because they only see their point of view.
Is this here some sort of 'sarcasm'?
See, with 'evidence' you can NOT necessarily 'prove' ANY 'thing', AT ALL. However, with 'evidence' you THINK you can 'prove' 'YOUR thing'. For example, 'red shift' is so-called "evidence" for some people's BELIEF that the Universe began and/or is expanding, and for these VERY BLINDED human beings they BELIEVE that the 'evidence' 'proves' 'their ASSUMPTION or BELIEF' here.
'Evidence' FOR some 'thing', however, is NOT necessarily 'proof', AT ALL, and NEVER WILL BE.
'Proof' is VERY, VERY DIFFERENT FROM 'evidence'.
'Evidence' may be A SIGN that some 'thing' is true, right, or correct, but 'evidence' is CERTAINLY NOT 'proof' that some 'thing' is true, right, NOR correct, and 'with evidence', you WILL CERTAINLY NOT EVER necessarily 'prove' ANY 'thing'.
What do you mean by, 'you do not view'? EVERY one 'views'.
The 'persuasion' 'in writing' does NOT mean that you are right, EITHER.
Could this opinion of yours, be 'wrong' here?
This sentence does NOT make sense to me. For example, through 'persuasion' people can be LED INTO BELIEVING 'things', which are NOT true AT ALL. As evidenced and PROVED True by quite a fair bit of what is written and said, in the days when this is being written.puto wrote: ↑Sat Apr 15, 2023 9:19 am Thank-you for the articles in the magazine and the free one, also. The forum makes you think differently and then research the thesis; and maybe change your mind. I do, also, turn off the arguments of attacking the person rather than the idea. Persuasion is as powerful way of evidence.
Now, 'evidence' IS 'evidence', and, 'persuasion' IS 'persuasion', but NEVER is 'persuasion' NECESSARILY a 'powerful way of evidence', AT ALL.
Even if you had added the word 'presenting', in between the words 'of' and 'evidence', your sentence still does NOT make FULL sense, to me.
' Presenting 'evidence' in a particular way can be VERY 'persuading' ', makes much MORE sense, well to me anyway.
Is the "english language" your 'first language'?
Now who and/or what are 'the Cynics'? Or, did you mean some 'thing' like, 'Most people here, in this forum, are 'cynical', and 'are strange in their wisdom', to you?
If yes, then WILL you PROVIDE some examples of WHERE you think or BELIEVE 'the wisdom' of most of the people here, in this forum, comes across as 'strange', to you?
If no, then WHY NOT?
Are you AWARE that the way you write is NOT 'persuading', AT ALL, to some of 'us' here, and that your so-called 'wisdom' appears to be somewhat MIXED UP, TWISTED, and/or DISTORTED?
OF COURSE 'they' HAVE A POINT OF VIEW. EVERY human being who writes in forums like this HAVE POINTS OF VIEWS.
Could what you have been SAYING and WRITING here be coming across as just 'ranting away' also, to "others"?
WHAT have you been, supposedly, studying in, which has, supposedly, led you to, supposedly, KNOWING 'the difference'? And, what are the words 'the difference' ACTUALLY IN RELATION TO, EXACTLY, anyway?
