    When you make a hypothesis or claim you show proof .

    What is the position when you make a supposition, or use the term 'most likely ' or ' possible ' based on the limited information available ?
    Do you have to show proof to a poster who disagrees ?

    Can I ask for a little more detail please? Do you have a question regarding a particular forum?

    Please start by contacting the Politics mods to discuss why posts were deleted. Each forum has its rules and they are best positioned to explain what happened.

    UPDATE: I see that you've edited your post since I replied. Are you contesting the yellow cards handed out in that thread?

    The ban was a week and not sure if its lifted . I think more of a guideline on posting something that is only a possibility and not a claim to fact .

    You already have a dispute open in Dispute Resolution to address the ban, so I think it's best to leave that there. I think that needs to be resolved first before answering you here.
