The Paul Freeman footage

I've provided clear evidence for all your usual behavior. Not my problem if you still can't comprehend simple English.
Hell, you're the one who called Zin a troll in this thread.
Again, you seem to lack even a basic understanding of the difference between opinion and claim of fact. Zin was expressing his opinion while you're claiming to be asserting facts. Can you guess which one should come under more scrutiny? @_@

And nothing satisfying your own quoted definition of a troll.

He is trolling this thread by not discussing the evidence posted and just repeating unevidenced claims it was hoaxed. That's a troll in my book.

Ah, if only you would read worth a damn, you'd know that I was telling you what Zin has described as your trolling.
My evidence is of your repeated intellectual dishonesty... regardless of your ultimate motives (crank, lying, trolling, etc.).

You seem to think anything that disagrees with you is trolling. Too bad that isn't actually trolling, no matter how provoked it makes you feel.

Nope..he's stating that there was a hoax as a fact without any evidence. And he's not engaging in any conversation about the OP. He probably didn't even watch the video. That's trolling..

Again, learn to read already.

"I figure" generally means "I believe," "I think," or "I have concluded." It indicates that the speaker has formed an opinion or reached a conclusion based on their understanding of a situation. It's a common, informal way to express a judgment or expectation.

IOW, opinion.

Quote:"I figure" generally means "I believe," "I think," or "I have concluded."

Right..He concluded it was a fact that there was a hoax involved based on no evidence. You don't conclude something you are not convinced is a fact.

Please, learn simple English.

concluded - arrive at a judgment or opinion by reasoning.

And yes, you do not hold an opinion you are not personally convinced of. Again, very simple English.

The statement that there was a hoax is a statement of fact. There's no getting around it.

"That the hoax was inevitable" is stating the hoax as a given fact. Which of course he has no evidence for. Hence the trolling.
