EDIT: Sometimes, I also ask just to see if they aren't just full of crap when they claim something specific (i.e. not offered as opinion) but sounds too outlandish to be true.
So for this statement, "I think she had no idea that the things she was saying would be controversial," exactly what would you expect from a link?

Someone else's opinion that Sooner didn't think she knew what she was saying would be controversial? Or someone else's opinion that she didn't know what she was saying would be controversial? Wouldn't any such link also require yet another link to someone else's opinion? And exactly what would be the value of any of that?
