Negative about what, tekomino? About asking for evidence or proof? On the contrary, I feel very positively about people sharing their experiences, figuring out what works and what doesn't, and even asking for evidence or proof. That's something we spend a lot of time doing around here, isn't it?

Or are you saying it's negative of me to question why anyone would demand, need or feel owed proof (which is what I was referring to in my posts here)? If you ask me for evidence or proof of something I'm experiencing subjectively, I'll either give you some or I won't. But why would you feel like I owe it to you, even if my experience conflicts with yours or another person's?

I am saying: what good does it do you to feel entitled to evidence or proof from someone? You're free to research your own evidence, or to ask someone else who is more willing, or to drop it completely, or a million other choices. How would taking away my choice help you?
