You guys should try... You only need phone and a track where to run. One lap is 400m if someone didn't know.

I have far more important things to do than run....besides sports are boring as hell.

You are entitled to personal opinions, but you may not present personal opinions as facts. After any personal opinions, you should put something like "in my view", or "to me" preceding said opinion. Some sports are boring to me, but I do quite like the technical aspects of motor racing, such as Formula 1 and occasionally the BTCC. Shame it's only on ITV4.

I never said you can't say your personal opinion. Are you dumb or what?

The fact that you reacted to his post as though it was a joke implies you feel it had no credibility, and in that post he expressed a personal opinion.
Now stop this farce before it gets out of hand.

I never said that my opinions where "facts," I was just stating that sports bore me...at least the majority of the mainstream ones do, I happen to like biking but I'm not sure if that really counts.

Lol...... IMO words like "boring" and "important" are feeling words IMO, therefore already implies personal opinion IMO.  To have to include "in my opinion" then is just redundancy IMO.  To read "boring" in any context as a factual claim is a mistake on the reader's end IMO.

Maybe we should have a IMO tag so we can quickly tl:dr IMO posts IMO.

By contrast no matter how many IMO I spam above, it is clearly a statement claim and not an opinion.

There's no point to this, cut this out before it escalates.

Right....



Anyway, for those of you interested I happened to come across an archive of Instigator's early website

Running is good, but only for charging into battle.

Real men walk and make it look good.

CORRECT. Unlike a certain incident, he hasn't restated, argued or tried to puch his opinion in a way that it could be construed as fact, either.

and that was the moment when I stopped going on Reddit.

They're both wrong, everyone remembers that Thermidor 2 was the first wedged robot in robot wars. And how it beat Mechadon in the heat final to go on to win Series 5 in 1996.

Need I remind you that Thermidor 2 was a large box-shaped robot with 2-wheel drive and a vertical sawblade. No robot in the history of robotic combat has ever demonstrated the ability to self-right. The RFL currently has a $25,000 prize for the first robot which is able to right itself.

You are seriously mistaken. Critter Crunch 1976 autonomous entry "Plunderbird" demonstrated its ability to self right after a match when its angry opponent "Punjar" flipped it over after losing by a pin.
