I like to start each one of my posts with an implied argumentum ab auctoritate. Despite its fallacious nature, it cuts down on a lot of irrelevant questioning and debate in online discussion forums, notably the bf.

By all means, don't listen to a thing I say. But know that when I'm commenting on cat 1s, I'm actually commenting from experience and not on things I perceive or make up.

I have no idea whether or not you can say the same.

See? It's quite functional.
