... can you get away with knowingly providing false information as long as you provide the disclaimer that it's 'your opinion' ... after the fact?

Just curious.

This is the internet.

Any opinion different than one's own is always "false information".

Is that true?...
 
(see what I did there?)

I keep being reminded of a commercial (don't remember what insurance company it's for though - so bad for them, eh?).
 
HERE is the relevant snippet.

Funny, I was just talking about that very thing with Napoleon Bonaparte (yes the actual one!) on another forum the other day.
 
He said Bonjour too which is how I figured out he was for real.

Well, one can't stay exiled for ever can they?

It is a scientific fact, that people will believe almost anything you say, provided, you precede whatever you want to say with the words, "It's a Scientific Fact".

Trust me on this.

It's also a scientific fact (really) that people tend to not see things when they're told to pay attention to something else.

Here's one example.

And the original.

There were some great ones from a show that I can't remember the name of where they'd have one girl great a customer then duck down and a completely different girl would finish helping and the customer wouldn't even notice!  I'll have to find those...

Ah, found one of the videos!  These are great.

Person Switch from the Sci-Fi Channel

Brilliant!

Brilliant.

That reinforced the idea that my brain is made from swiss cheese. It was a man on the poster, that's all I remember. I got distracted.

Mooch did not notice my moobs at his wedding because he was told to pay attention to his bride.

I keed about Mooch.


Not about my moobs.

Define 'get away with'...

Well, obviously something happened yesterday that prompted this post.

If y'all go digging for it, you'll find it. But I accept the poster for what he is and didn't make a big deal out of it. I have to, what else am I going to do, follow him around the forum proving to him how wrong he is and disrupt the place? As tempting as that is, I just give up. Heh.

It's just ... well ... it will never cease to amaze me how some people have black and white proof in front of them that they are wrong, and still be so ... well ... I don't even know what the right word is. I think I do, but it will get all *'d out, so why bother saying it.

Let me put it this way, if I'm wrong, I got no problem fessing up to it, and I always thank the person for setting me straight.

I don't say, 'My reality is all that's fact, actual facts don't matter, so piss off.'.

I don't even know why I bother trying to be nice when the sentiment is not reciprocated. It just makes me out to be a fool. So much for trying to bury the hatchet in with him.
