A very minor recently example effecting me would be a comment on my last diary: poemless: But seriously, this is an oversimplification and does not really illustrate an appreciation for the relationship between people and their leaders outside the world of Hollywood cartoons. Having spent a lifetime studying "the relationship between people and their leaders" I didn't take kindly to being attacked for having a cartoon level of appreciation of such relationships especially as I didn't see any evidence being produced to justify that assertion.
But seriously, this is an oversimplification and does not really illustrate an appreciation for the relationship between people and their leaders outside the world of Hollywood cartoons.
You expected evidence Frank ? !! You implicitly impose a rationalist framework ! :-) Given there was no evidence to support the comment why take it so seriously ? Why not just ask for the evidence ? - but be prepared to duck if you do so here :-) Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
Indeed (though I wasn't referring to a "positivist" one) and the request for evidence is seen as entirely reasonable in many areas. Cf. "someone"'s comment for the dangers of not relying on evidence. Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.
