You just stated this forum doesn't exist for debate. Make your mind up: is this forum (I'm referring to the Skeptics forum) a place for people to debate or not? If you don't want to debate the issues you've raised in your videos, why do you post in this part of the forum? Is this part of the forum just a bear-trap for anyone who doesn't subscribe to the conspiracy theories? I don't think it was created for that purpose, but I may be wrong. I thought it was a place for discussion of ideas and theories by CTs and non-CTs. It's an unfortunate fact that opinions are so polarised that arguments can become heated. That doesn't mean that debate should be silenced. Sadly it seems that's what's happened. All I've experienced from some members on this forum are insults, personal attacks, threats, demeaning comments, accusations, insinuations. All for not subscribing to conspiracy theories on a forum created for skeptics. I believe the vernacular in your country is "go figure". I don't think the mods are responsible for this, at least in my own experience. They've been very fair with me. But a forum thrives on the contributions of its members. And from where I'm sat, it seems that if a member doesn't buy the "party line", the vultures start circling. There's a phrase that I and others use when debate reaches a dead-end: it's called "agree to disagree". I get the feeling that some members aren't happy for that to happen. Which is a shame. |
