"Qualify it as such in the original post."

It is unfortunate that people seem not to be able to distinguish between a neutral fact and an endorsement. Just recently I posted something I consider a fact and since I was afraid if could be controversial, added that this is not meant in a judgmental way. The bulletin board owner took this to a meta level and argued that it was exactly this add-on that showed that it was meant in a judgmental way and banned me.

It’s been shown that words mean different things given geographical region.

One brain is not composed of the same experiential model, and as a result, neurological model, as others.

Physics > chemistry -> biology -> humans -> metaphor and analogy. Kind of my mental road map for information hierarchy.

If it’s not physically quantifiable it probably falls into some category like “relative metaphor and analogy”.
