"At no point did I say her show was or was not on the list of WGA shows."

You said "they were of the opinion that she was in violation, and decided to list the show as a striked show." which is incorrect.

Her show was already on the list of WGA shows, before she decided to bring the show back. It was a struck show before this controversy. Her show is struck based on the rules of the guild, she had WGA writers. It's not based on opinion, as you erroneously claimed.

I dont know how many times your going to agree with me and start it with “incorrect”… but here we go again…  Her show was already on the list of WGA shows, before she decided to bring the show back.

And at what point did I say that wasnt the case?  Her show is struck based on the rules of the guild, she had WGA writers.

Yup. When the people who compiled the list had to form an opinion on which qualified and which didnt they used the rules of the guild to do so. Since she had WGA writers in the past they decided to add it to the striked list.  It’s not based on opinion, as you erroneously claimed.

My best guess is that your misunderstanding what the word opinion means.

You do realize you can hold an opinion that happens to be fact right? An opinion may or may not be fact or based on fact. While opinions that arent facts will always just be opinions, opinions which are facts, are still opinions, they are fact-based opinions.

Here is the definition fromt he dictionary”

“a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.”

Pay close attention to the word “necessarily”, clearly showing opinions are still opinions even when they happen to be rooted in facts.

"When the people who compiled the list had to form an opinion on which"

Incorrect. Whether wga writers were on her show isn't an opinion. Any talk show that has wga writers is a struck show when the wga goes on strike. It's not based on opinion. Pretending it's an opinion is false, you need a better argument if you want to pretend what she did isn't in violation of the strike.

"at what point did I say that wasnt the case?"

you keep claiming it's an opinion. 
 @3d4d0632 

Again you clearly dont understand the meaning of the word opinion... When an opinion is formed solely based on facts, it is still an opinion...

You seem to think opinion means "not a fact, just my personal idea i formed on a whim"... thats not the definition of an opinion. I already showed you the definition of an opinion and why an opinion based on fact is still an opinion...

Thus why you keep thinking your disagreeing with me when your not.. you think im saying "its an opinion not a fact" when in reality im saying 'Its an opinion, and an opinion can be a fact"

> you keep claiming it's an opinion.

Yes I do, saying something is an opinion is **not** the same as saying it isnt a fact, as I have said multiple times and you refuse to listen.

"Again you clearly dont understand the meaning of the word opinion"

Nope, I'm correcting your errors. Pretending I don't know what a word means won't help you.

"'Its an opinion, and an opinion can be a fact""

LOL sure jan 
 @3d4d0632 

Well thanks, you now proved y point, QED. ? Apparently me explaining it 4 times over AND the dictionary telling you youre wrong and your still clueless...

This is the point you've just proven you are a waste of my time, if you cant even understand the meaning of a simple word clearly explained by the dictionary. 

Please do not tag or contact me again, you either are incapable of an intelligent conversation or intentionally arguing in bad faith and refusing to listen.

Again: You are not welcome to contact me again, thank you.

You're incorrect, and your explanations don't help you. The dictionary also doesn't help you.
