Just an Opinion: When Antarctic Pyramid Believers Attack
“Just an Opinion” was a term often used by detractors to dismiss an article on debunking the Antarctic Pyramids myth. What does it mean? Well, the detractors got it wrong and committed a fallacy.
Commentary
I label this article a commentary. These are my thoughts and feelings and mine alone. Of course, my opinion will be supported by facts. After all, the best way to write a commentary is to fill it up with as many facts to support my thesis.
Many editors, even English teachers, would tell you not to start an article off this way. It looks amateurish and unprofessional. And, in many respect, I agree. Then again, they haven’t had to deal with the type of critics I’ve had to contend with on one particular article.
And who are these critics? They’re vulgar, loud, and fixated on…pyramids. Yes, pyramids.
Most importantly, they have it stuck in their heads that an article about the debunking of the Antarctic pyramid myth is nothing more than “just an opinion.” And that’s a bad thing to them.
