Ahahaha, this guy is mental.
No, your dream pony doesn't exist. But dreams do exist, and people dream about all sorts of things, including ponies. You don't trust anyone who says they had a dream about a pony? You are a genuine nutcase if that's true.
Talk about taking a lot of words to say nothing...

Is there a point to all this?

Ok, you've taught me a valuable lesson in semantics.
Heh. This has a lot more to it than semantics. But you have to be willing to look in the telescope at the observable evidence. Takes courage to examine your assumptions, sure, but you know what Socrates said.

You should probably just provide evidence for whatever it is you're driving at. You'd seem like less of a loon (or maybe not, depending on what you put forward).

No it doesn't actually. You were right, I was wrong to use the phrase 'I would believe you'. Because if someone else said to me 'Is it true that Fred dreamt about a pony?' I would say 'Well, I don't know for sure, that's what he said happened'.
As I've stated, the truth is I wouldn't really care whether or not it was true as it would have no effect on anything whatever the outcome. If it was someone I trusted a lot, I'd be more inclined to believe them because that's how trust works. But if someone gave me cause to doubt it by saying to me 'Fred told ME he dreamt about a giraffe last night', I would have to look into it further.
I think you think you're a terribly original and clever person, striking at the heart of all we hold dear. You're a pseud.

Your inability to follow a logic chain is my responsibility, and my argument goes to a very specific place. There's nothing vague about it and it makes full sense right now. None of the dodging and weaving or name calling changes that. Keep up or shut up.

Sorry, Rhythm. Your one trick pony of "where's the evidence" isn't the pony we're talking about. You can call me a loon, but you would look less like a dogmatic blowhard if you could demonstrate it instead of just spouting it.

Meh, a one trick pony is better than a no trick pony (in dreams or otherwise)

Since nobody here seems to understand your vague bullshit, maybe, JUST MAYBE, it's your logic that's flawed.
How about make a point or shut up? You still haven't, but you're still going on and on.
