But some facts are not in dispute or matters of opinion. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 02/10/2009 08:38:05 PM
As per your example, no one can deny that the Forsaken are evil, or that Mat is the shortest of the Two Rivers men, or Nynaeve is the oldest of the Two Rivers folk. Even if one has the opinion that Mat is opportunistic, some explanation as to why his actions may be considered in that light would seem to be called for. Hence this post.

I was about to ask if "opportunist" must mean "selfish?" beetnemesis - 02/10/2009 06:49:41 PM 1009 Views
All of that for the quickpoll? Seriously? *NM* Raforsaken - 02/10/2009 07:08:42 PM 387 Views
It's always a good idea to look up words with which one is unfamiliar. nossy - 02/10/2009 08:53:12 PM 748 Views
True. Especially because it turns out that "opportunist" IS only negative beetnemesis - 03/10/2009 12:09:49 AM 782 Views
No. It's not. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 03/10/2009 12:46:35 AM 876 Views
Short answer: people have different opinions from you. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:13:05 PM 952 Views
Yes. These opinions are, technically speaking, "incorrect." *NM* Cannoli - 02/10/2009 07:15:34 PM 421 Views
Or: your opinion is short-sighted and simplistic. *NM* RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 07:32:59 PM 376 Views
Whatever, mon. Hug it out with your boyfriends over some tea. Or you know, provide some evidence.. Cannoli - 02/10/2009 08:34:42 PM 815 Views
Your "evidence" is, once again, based on your opinion. RugbyPlayingAshaman - 02/10/2009 10:59:25 PM 829 Views
