Sceptics beliefs ?

Are you allowed to say that another poster "is somewhat arrogant", just because it is expressed as an opinion?

there are so many words and different ways of saying things, it would be impossible to make rulings on all situations.  The words "is somewhat arrogant" would probably get through.

A very personal post was directed at me on this thread a few days ago.
It's a pity this advice was not applicable in that instance?

So I can call another poster "somewhat arrogant"?
Make personal comments?

I believed it would be removed without my reporting it.
However as you seem to suggest that the wording was acceptable, there would have been no point.
I will remember for future reference that my opinions on other posters can be expressed.
Possibly the use of the word "somewhat" before the adjective does seem to make it more acceptable.

I'm not the most active moderator, so don't feel despondent.  If a post offends you report it.

What I'm looking for is that the criticism is against the things being said, rather than against the person saying them.  Half the time I don't try or understand the argument or care about your view as long as it isn't ad hominem, abusive or harassment.

You may be convinced that asking for a review is a sign that the McCanns are innocent and that their purpose was to continue the investigation into their missing child but those are your beliefs, not facts. I find it somewhat arrogant whenever someone presents their beliefs as if they were facts.

I think it's a fact... Based on the evidence.. That the McCann's are not suspects in either investigation.....As I don't see any new, evidence against them arising I don't see that situation changing... I don't see that as arrogant

What do you believe they were doing?

A straight to the point succinct answer would be gratefully received as it would help rule out the chance you might suffer from the misrepresentation you claimed from future discussion.

When you made the original post accusing me of believing that I am always right and "somewhat  arrogant", I did reply that I found your post inappropriate.
Even though you read my response and noted it, you now repeat your somewhat offensive accusation..

Not only that but you choose to start a days discussion by repeating your accusation.

Look I've been called arrogant too in the past, and I recall not even knowing what that meant. 
"arrogant

adjective
having or revealing an exaggerated sense of one's own importance or abilities.
"he's arrogant and opinionated""

Somewhat could be even to the smallest degree.  So it isn't a harsh criticism to call someone "somewhat arrogant" in the correct circumstances, IMO.

Indeed.

You continue to encourage name calling in my opinion.

I will bear that in mind when replying to posts

[Mr Gray]

I also believe the McCann's are innocent and therefore believe anyone who disagrees with that is, wrong
