No, I wasn't simply being challenged on my opinion. I was being told I couldn't express my opinion without elaborating on it with whatever cryostar considered "facts". I have no problem with being challenged on my opinion. What I have a problem with is unreasonable restrictions being put on what I have a right to say.

I think it was quite clear from what I said that I felt pressured. I didn't need to state it because what I said made it very clear.

I wasn't being challenged on my opinion, I was being challenged on my right to express an opinion without having to provide whatever cryosstar considered "facts".

I'm afraid you're butting into a personal conflict between a mod and a poster. I for one don't appreciate it. I'd appreciate it if people left this between cryostar and me.

Well I have pointed out that I didn't appreciate cryostar putting a row between me and him into the first post of the thread. I don't see what point there was in him continuing it. If he felt the need to continue it, I don't see that putting it in the first post was a nice thing to do. It puts me very much on the spot. And frankly I feel rather accused, what with his whole fox and hen thing (see previous thread), so I felt the need to reply to the accusation in the place where the accusation was made. But I'd be happy if he were either to drop this or take it to PM. But if somebody accuses me publicly then I'll defend myself publicly. I'm sorry if I've had any part in making you feel uneasy. If I had my way this argument would have stopped back on the previous thread when I asked for it to be.
