I don’t care to get involved in this argument, but need to point out that you literally did say “I think” and did not mention the word ‘maybe’ even once.
In five sentences I say "maybe" using other words three times. Each of these are interchangeable with maybe.
It could be
The Patriots might
I think this might
In context, I don't think there was any doubt I was putting forth a supposition aka "a maybe".
When I quoted myself, I shortened it to "maybe" for brevity. I am fairly certain that was obvious.
When I used "I think" the first time, it was followed immediately by the qualifier "might" to indicate "maybe". When I used it to quote myself in the second post I used it in the colloquial sense of an indication of belief or statement of my truth. Again, in context they are completely different.
Please don't mischaracterize my words to prove a point. It only proves you weren't listening or are being pedantic.
