But when opinions are injected and supported by fact then those opinions are of value as they contain true context. This is much-much different then opinions/hypothesis that are injected with no supporting fact. In reality, and by definition, a hypothesis is an opinion, a personal perspective lacking supporting fact. So by your original post, you are correct in your suggestion as it is easily understood why all of these Beale claims of solution & remedy are considered to be nothing more then hoaxes, because they lack and supporting fact/provenance, they are just opinions used by hoaxters. :icon_thumright: Nice to see that you're finally catching on.

What you have actually pointed out with this post is that all of these claims of solution & remedy are indeed hoaxes. Good job! :laughing7::icon_thumright:

Not me who is twisting things around. All one has to do is to review all of these various claims of solution & remedy, none of them conform to all of the story details as they are presented in the original source, none of them can establish the existence of the Thomas J. Beale or the party in the narration, and none of them can provide any provenance in support of the tale, yet they all claim they have the truth. When someone claims that they have the truth and they can't even establish any truth in the tale then that is some major twisting and hoaxing, indeed. :icon_thumright:

You're the OP of this thread, it was your opening post that so clearly pointed all of this out to everyone. "Their claims are all, and only, personal opinion based."

Calling or implying a member is a "Con" or running a "hoax" is an attack and an insult, I highly recommend it not be repeated.

Who called who a con? Who said who was running a hoax? Posting accurate definitions is good, keeps everyone on the same page, yes? :dontknow:

That quip, M Poe, really makes no sense as a comment concerning the content of the subject matter of your original posted definition. :icon_scratch: ???

We are fed up with the constant bickering and insulting, if it does not cease members will not like what happens. If members can't post in a "polite and respectful manner" they will lose the right to post at all.

Per our rules....

All these claimed "solutions" have produced are books and/or blogs based on questionable "facts" and those who put "boots on the ground", many holes in the ground of Bedford county, Virginia.
