The portion in bold below is true...

"It's not the reality of the future which for the present is based on expectations. it becomes real as actual events happen...

That is the case regardless of ones point of view. Positive, negative or neutral.

I don't base my comments on expect, soon, etc..."

Since nothing is real until it actually happens, then there should be "no speculation" at all, absolutely no comments on future possibilities, certainly no looking into any crystal ball regardless of ones individual view point.

Some of us look at the crystal ball differently, some comment as though it's a fact.

True, the facts as they see them in their opinion...that includes pretty much everyone here. I'm fairly certain that most if not all here are able to discern who is almost always positive, who is almost always negative and who is balanced in their comments and as thinking individuals are capable of forming their own opinions on a particular subject.

If you try to evaluate a poster intent as to positive and negative comments, try looking at their posts in total over a long period of time, not simply a single post.

Since we all have the ability to look at as well as cut and paste previous posts...I really don't think we should go there...:)

I'm sure everyone from their own perspective thinks their position is the most reasonable. A guy jumps in his car and proceeds driving down a road that has patches of construction taking place. He drives under the speed limit. Soon dozens of cars are trapped behind him. He refuses to pull over to let them by and will not speed up. From his viewpoint the road is unsafe to drive any faster and he's really doing everyone else a favor making them drive more slowly. Do you think the other drivers are unhappy with him? The truth is the warning signs and flagmen at the appropriate spots are ample warning for any reasonable driver, having a flagman every five feet, or someone forcing you to drive more slowly is "warning overkill". With horns honking, people letting him know he's number one (thats one finger right?) eventually the driver gets the message, understands how the other drivers feel and deep down inside part of him agrees with them, yet he continues on in the same manner. What type of personality does the driver have? What is he "feeling"? What does he gain?
