if you intend on posting stuff provide *facts* to back them up your opinions

I can provide facts to confirm my opinion about the ways different people

them? Do you want the approach to be based on the English Philosophical
tradition or that of Cognitive Psychology - I can do either or, a touch

most csa readers have enough intelligence and are sufficiently grown up to
understand and respond appropriately.
