Vex, you changed your question to me while I was answering your original ones. I'll go with the originals.
You asked what I considered to be a fact.
I consider a fact to be truth. I don't care to get in a discussion about the truth.
Then you asked how I determined if a fact was true.
First, I consider the source of the "fact". Blogs are at the bottom of what I consider to be reliable sources. I call them Bloggers for Dollars for a reason.
There is very little that I believe, automatically. If something sounds suspicious, I look for other source, verification.
I put a lot of importance on facts and the truth. Recently I put up posts, admitting that I had made mistakes, in previous posts. I apologized for the misinformation.
