    Ill tell you there's a flying pink elephant outside my window, is the burden of proof on you or me? I can point outside my window and tell you to go look just as easily.

    Right, but if you gave me a video of the flying pink elephant, pictures of it's tracks in the ground outside your window, a statement from a zoologist that confirms that it is indeed a flying pink elephant, and numerous witness statements that all substantiate your claim that at that time, and in that place, a pink elephant did fly, then at some point it's no longer that you didn't provide evidence, it's that I don't believe you simply because I don't want to believe you.

    You keep missing the entire concept that you point at a pile of 30,000 emails and say 'see!' Pick out specifics if you want me to agree on a concept.

    I have read several dozen articles all with cleverly provocative titles to ensure readership, however beyond some basic favoritism there is still no smoking gun. There's nothing that was actually done, no action, no details of the dastardy plot complete with moustache twirling that people of the mindset to accept it seem to believe is there. Ill refer to my original post in which I asked someone to: "do tell exactly how democracy was subverted and this was revealed in the emails"

      You keep missing the entire concept that I'm not your damn research department. You asked for an example and I gave you one.

      I'm not "pointing to a pile of 30,000 emails", I'm giving you a link to a searchable database of 30,000 emails. If you can use Google you can use WikiLeaks.
