When accusing someone of doing something, you have to back up your accusation with reasoning. You can't just say "grass is red" and if someone challenges you just say "well, that's just my opinion".

Why do I have to? Because you say so?

It's what an person would do if they were being honest. If someone's lying, of course they're not going to.

If you don't believe I'm honest about my opinion, oh well.

You know you're not being honest, I just showed that it's true because you refuse to provide any evidence to support your opinion.

I love this "everyone here is lying but me" thing you have going on. It's quite amusing.

Nope. I didn't say anything different than the many, many people here and elsewhere who said it was a rape threat.

How difficult life must be for you when everyone is constantly lying to you.

Yes, many, many people piled on Elon Musk to defend Taylor Swift. Who could have seen that was a good way to get Internet points. Oh wait! That's you!

So all of them are sincere in their opinion that Elon Musk made a rape threat but I actually don't think it was a rape threat and am lying about it?

That's your absolutely insane conclusion here?
