Message: [QUOTE="Hans Sprungfeld, post: 4953649, member: 181"] In light of what I posted toward @tzzandrew, it would be unfair for me not to comment here, after seeing your post in passing before pivoting off this thread. "They are" is clearly present tense, being used with something clearly in the past (the NCAA seeding of Iowa State). " - in fact - " challenges me to consider if it's a fact. Why else would you stress the term otherwise? "trying to screw UConn" is presented as a conclusive determination regarding a combination of some verifiable facts, questionable appearances, contextual interpretations, and plausible suppositions. I don't see any argument that succeeds in claiming it as fact. I'd say that if I found strong favor with your feelings, but I'll steer fully clear from saying how much I do or do not. Feelings, thoughts, impressions, and opinions are not facts in and of themselves. [/QUOTE]
