Inability to coherently express the rationale for your beliefs isn't evidence of a lack of proof.
Point of order sir!

Firstly I never said coherently, I said effectively. I've known one or two people who are virtually inarticulate, but they have still managed to impart their views far better than I could. Admittedly, they'd be less able to share in a internet forum, but your point seemed more generic than the thread.

Secondly, did I ever mention proof or evidence? Arguments across the internet often invalidate the use of definitive proof. Finally, while I agree the truth may be "out there", the onus is on you to impart that information, not on your internet collaborator to either find it for themselves or believe your assertions of truth. Sadly, when using type to converse, coherence is a key factor, one which I'm often woefully poor at.

To get back to the original thread topic - polite discourse good, censorship bad, speeling optional.
