A. I don't feel ganged up on.

And B. I'm not being condescending because someone doesn't agree with my opinion. If I'm being condescending about anything it's that some people who've commented on this thread have commented in such a way that I think their either being stubborn or flat out stupid. Because to me (and this is my opinion), anyone who speaks in absolutes and puts their beliefs out there like they are fact, without having any proof to back themselves up, is stupid.

Because see...here's where I'm having the problem. It's not my opinion that someone can run without a bra. It's fact. It's not my opinion that someone can run with long pants on. It's a fact. It's not my opinion that someone can run a marathon and look less than haggard at the finish line. It's fact. Those are not my opinions. These are fact.

I didn't call everyone on here morons or idiots. But if you're going to say "no way" to something, you should be prepared to back it up. Me calling people for talking out their ass is not condescending.

It's not my fault no one can back up their "no way" statements. It's not my fault people spoke without being informed. It's not my fault it took me thirty minutes to disprove their less than well thought out "opinions". I'm pretty sure I've heard it on here before, but I think it goes without saying - you're free to have an opinion, but you better be prepared to back it up. Right?

And if anyone thinks that condescending of me - too bad.
