the game is not out yet
there for FF > TLS by default

we don't know ANYTHING about this game

he cannot possibly state TLS > FF

simply because it has no arguments , and is therefore not based on facts


wich means he may keep his opinion, but should refrain from stating such baseless strings of words

Doesn't matter. An opinion does not have to be based on fact or reason.

a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty.

The definition implies that there doesn't have to be a basis for the opinion. I like chocolate icecream. Do I need a reason for that? No, I just like chocolate icecream. Can I say chocolate>strawberry. Yes. Can I say chocolate>all other icecream. YES. I haven't eaten every other icecream, but I can still say it because I like chocolate icecream better then all others. I don't need to give statistical evidence to say that I like chocolate icecream better then other icecream flavors. My opinion is alkso allowed to change if I eat a new icecream flavor and like it better. The original poster can also say FF>TLS when he plays it. Either way, he is allowed to beleive it. The problem is Montana is saying he can't.

Here is the problem with your post. You don't understand the difference between an opinion and a fact. You can not say that FF must be better then TLS because you can not make sufficient evidence for an opinion. An opinion is a belief or judgment that rests on grounds insufficient to produce complete certainty or a personal view, attitude, or appraisal. Thus, regardless of what you think, he can say TLS is better because it is his view on the games. You can say we know nothing about it, but it is still his view on it. I find it rediculous that you were trying to make theories and proofs on opinions. You can NEVER state that "cannot possibly state TLS > FF" because neither alternative have sufficient evidence to disprove the other (and accept the alternative).

Fact of that matter is thisL: he is allowed to think that way whether any of you like it or not. You may disagree with it, but you must also accept that he can think that way.
