No, I didn't. I never said that my opinion was a fact.

I suppose it was some other Göran Andersson who wrote this then (among similar statements):

Sure looks like a statement of fact to me.

How? I never said that my opinion was a fact, so how can you look at the thread and say that?

You wrote a number of times that you did not reply to spam, and not once did you qualify your statement as stating that claim as opinion.

Your statement is either obviously one of opinion, in which case so too are the ones I made and which you accuse me of stating as fact. Conversely, if you are going to insist that my statements can only be interpreted as statements of fact, then so too can your statements only be interpreted as statements of fact.

Here's a fact for you: you have for some reason gotten all upset over nothing. There's clearly a difference of opinion and I'm fine with that, but your insistence on perpetuating that disagreement as if it were intractable and worth arguing about is just stupid.

I apologize for offending you. But I still wish you, and everyone else, would not quote spam when they reply to threads started as spam, and I'd prefer they not reply to spam at all.

If you still feel at this point that you didn't do any such thing. Fine. I disagree, and I will disagree until the end of time, but it doesn't really matter whether we agree on what you did or did not do.

I am also sorry that you cannot simply accept this disagreement, but at this point it's clear that you are only interested in degenerating the discussion of the disagreement into a pointless argument about _how_ something was written. If the clarifications I've provided so far aren't sufficient for you, too bad. You will just have to deal with that. Any offense you are feeling is strictly self-inflicted, and I'm done trying to help you understand that.
