[quote user="oltmannd"][quote user="Convicted One"] As a footnote it might be worth mentioning that within the very first paragraph of Fred's piece he is blasting (using the posture of an alleged 'friend' in the industry) online discussion groups for having "too many stupid people spouting off things they know nothing about"   Gee, I wonder  who he's "opining" about? <IMG alt=Laugh src="http://cs.trains.com/trccs/emoticons/icon_smile_newlaugh.gif">   He further goes on to write "do you wonder why railroaders don't have more respect for those of us on the other side of the camera lense? I'LL TELL YOU WHY: we haven't earned it"   his insistence that he knows full well the nature of the "problem" he describes, goes WELL PAST the  posture of "sharing an opinion" [/quote] Are you having trouble telling the difference between an opinion piece and a factual article? Every opinion doesn't have to start with the words "in my opinion"... Yes, he believes that railfans haven't earned the respect of railroaders and in the piece he tells what he thinks the reasons are. That is all opinion, no? Why does that opinion bother you so much? You care what Fred might think of you? A little blow to the ego, perhaps? [/quote] I don’t see any evidence that anyone believes that Frailey had done anything other than offer an opinion.  What else could it be?  You seem to be suggesting that because a statement is only an opinion, it cannot be disagreed with or criticized.
