16. How he uses it is meaningless.

All of us here deal in opinions. We decide nothing for anyone but our own selves. Opinions. Now, sometimes something is obviously true, like someone calling three different people the same name. There it in in the threads.

The funny thing is that the person calling others "deciders" wants to be the only decider. Ridiculous, when talking about supernatural myths,and legends. Either there was a miraculous creation or there was not. Either a deity committed genocide or did not. It can not be both ways, but some want to decide that is both ways.

Logic and consistency are missing in some. For me, that does not lead me to accept opinions from such folks.

I am a decider for myself. My opinion is my decision. But it is only mine. I can decide for nobody else. It's in my signature line on every post. Can't miss it. But, somehow, it gets missed...
