Yes indeed, good comments from both of you Jeff and Chris. I tend to think this is
just some people hell bent on exposing their grand ideas to the world and when someone
disagrees with them they get a little bent out of shape and then the posts just have
one place to go, down the sewer pipe.
Please let us stay focussed on the issues and not each other, let us avoid discussing
issues f FAITH and BELIEF in a way that is designed to inflame (in other words don't
spout off about how YOUR belief is BETTER than someone elses or that someone is going
to hell for believing what THEY believe). Issues of strong emotional content
(religion, abortion, evolution, etc.) CAN be discussed here IF the focus is on the
ISSUE and IF it has relevance t Conspiracy Theory, it's as simple as that. Calling
people Baby Killers does nothing to foster debate nor does it have anything to do with
CT. Saying Creationists are stupid fools (or some such) does nothing to encourage
debate nor is it in any way related to CT. Caling people "idiot", etc., exposes no
conspiracy nor does it enlighten anyone (if someone says something stupid or posts
crap most people here will be able to smell its reek without having to be told that
"so-and-so" is a big stupid jerk that is full of shit).
Please bring issues, and have them relate to CT and don't think that your comments are
holy writ and expect that everyone will sit idly by and accept what you say. Remember
too that longevity on this list affords you no special status or priviledge.
