213. All's well, that's Orwell
Also, the deletion of threads makes it difficult to go over the conversation in context and in it's absence, the content is blown out of porportion.

It's like taunting a homophobe. Only with wackophobes. If you accuse a homophobe of being gay, he will overreact and do anything possible to appear Macho. While the non-phobe is not threatened by accusations. Accuse a wackophobe of being wacko and they will act out against that which they fear they see in themselves or what others see in them. Then they attack the reflection of their fears. To boost their credibility, they become the Gods of Facts and Science and denying the opinions of those who sometimes only want to ask a question and be taught something, rather than be attacked.

I hope the idea I am tryin to express is clear. I really love this place. I just become upset with holier-than-thous or brainier-than-thous and rude people. Striking out in all directions with harshness among the ranks is really detrimental to our purpose and vision. We are more than that.
