I don't think your understanding me.
Steve, if you've read my post on other forums you'd see there is very little talk about, "conspiracies and misleading news."
And for all the years you've known me, it's only a little offensive this is your opinion as to my modus operandi.
I think, more accurate, is that maybe I am peering in for a greater truth. Or, peering into the unexplored facets of reality. Not accepting the shallow-spoon fed answers, asking questions around unfamiliar territory.
Because news and our differences were only focused upon when we indeed had a difference of opinion about them- and prior to let's say the Hillary vs Trump campaign- your observation about me could not stand.
Make sense?
For every person in the world, there is a unique opinion about us that is more true for that person than it is about the individual they are wrongly or correctly defining.
I suppose I don't take offense. And I think your observation isn't looking further at the nature of your forum over the years or considering more about the other.
Most forums do not allow political discourse when their main feature is for instance angels. Yes there have been periods of time, governed by events and yes we have shared wonderful experiences and times together, otherwise what would be the lasting nature of it all?
