You are correct that believe/think are not arguments. I suppose I should then point out that you didn't make an argument proving that it is possible to argue 100% for the sake of arguing.

It is a hypothetical construct, and if someone has proven it can be true, I have not seen such proof, so I am just informing you that I am not convinced of it.

These words do not seem big to me (that is relative/subjective) and I use them because they are comfortable for me as I struggle to make a point.

If I were smarter, I could get my points across using fewer/shorter words, so if I am doing this subconsciously to seem smarter, I am actually contradicting my conscious mind which knows efficiency is also a hallmark of intelligence (which I fail at).

I hope I do know something of what I talk about, but if there are shortcomings you perceive I would like to know so as to improve from learning them.

I actually did respond to you: I asked what you would use the screenshot for. Whether I said yes or no would be conditional upon that. I think you should probably take a lack of affirmation as a "no", but I did not want to give a hard refusal since I was open to the idea of giving you my consent if the use was one I liked.

Not sure which point you mean I'm cherry-picking. I totally cherrypick sometimes, I'll admit to that, but an hour later I will be fuzzy on the specifics, and I think cherrypicking is sometimes harmless so I don't know that I had any deceptive intent in doing so. Sometimes I cherrypick merely to emphasize which point I am addressing.

Isn't a soapbox generally on a public forum rather than in a private thread? If you feel I am being disingenuous because this a thread viewable to the rest of the community, I'll gladly answer you on some other medium, but I doubt I'll talk any different.

I expect you are frustrated with my vague and non-committal reply where I would not fully analyze w:c:LionKing:Thread92289 so to show my goodwill I can see if I can figure out what they were discussing without help from you...

18 July 2019... so I'll check TM's edits 19th and prior...

Okay I can see this relates to w:c:LionKing:Talk: The Lion Guard: Season 3 which was blanked 3 times

The first edit was a link to this tweet. Which does appear to be of some relation.

Do you happen to know if Tristen Metcalf runs that Twitter account, or if it is one of the admins of the Lion Guard Wiki that runs it? It's described as "official Twitter feed for The Lion Guard Wiki" but I don't know if that's true. I would need to know to give understand the context of it's addition/removal.

I hope that my taking the time to look up this information on my own shows that I do care about the goings-on and your concerns. But in the future if you know more about the goings-on (ie why you objected to that specific warning) it's good form to provide that accessory information.
