Doug-- you shouldn't be echoing the line that all facts are just matters of opinion. As to the issue at stake in the exchange, whether a the different organizations with 1199 in their name is a separate local or not is not a question of opinion, but a legal matter governed by pretty tight federal law on elections and membership control.
I'm sorry-- if you aren't going to fact check, then when people keep repeating lies and ignore fact check posts, you shouldn't complain when they get called dipshits or any other insult. After a while, clear lies or arguing based on ignorance (even after correction) doesn't deserve the respect of politeness.
