This allegation that I make stuff up is a copycat argument you started, after I accused you of imagining things not in evidence. Similarly the "based off no evidence, but solely and purely on faith" is the same copycat tactic that fails to add a base to assumptions I called baseless. It only serves as a kind of deflection and distraction to the assertion that certain conclusions rely on faith based assumptions that lack any basis in evidence. Another copycat tactic then is to later accuse me of deflection and distraction and obfuscation and spin, after I've been the serial victim of such tactics, and attempt to bring things back on point, move goalposts back to their original position, clarify, and despin. Regarding some anonymous unregistered poster, possibly an imposter, claiming he "used EPO and it works", before posting my "welcome" message, I did several searches on this anonymous handle, and came up with no evidence of any previous posts. The empty results of the search, combined with the lack of any personal recollection of "Christian but not the Lion" as an active participant in EPO threads talking about his first hand experience that "EPO works", is the evidence and basis for the question. I guess technically the question (and not conclusion) is based on "no evidence", as I found no evidence that "Christian but not the Lion" has posted before, but only after an active search for evidence of previous posting resulted in nothing. Since then, he said he posted before and I should read it. I asked for some links to read and received no response of any posts he authored. I have conceded that I offer opinions with less or no basis, but not "inventing conclusions" as I was accused of. In light of any contradictory evidence, I am open to changing my opinions.

Some of what I say is self-evident.
Some of what I say is based on historical data, like all time performances.
I don't draw conclusions that I haven't supported with facts, evidence, logic, and arguments.
I do sometimes offer opinions which may have less or no basis.
Maybe you have specific examples?
That's a joke, right?
After all, making up stuff is your standard modus operandi.
For example, you wrote just before that question, based off of no evidence at all, but solely and purely on faith:
"Welcome to the forum -- how come you have never posted until now?"
