No, I'm equating you to a taxpayer. That's all it takes to make you a white supremacist genocide-supporter in this country. It's a case of needing to know what the lightswitch you keep flipping, is wired-up to, instead of letting people mock me for discussing it.
I realize this started because I wasn't taking any shit - and that the shit being slung at me is the average kind so many people think is acceptable.
But I challenge people to separate your feelings about this thread, from the rules; and bear in mind that your feelings about this thread, have no bearing on what is real or isn't.
If there's mountains of bad news you refuse to be aware of which affects you and has moral implications about your life, and you are forced to become aware of it, then yeah, you're not going to like the messenger. I get that. You're going to act like a bunch of people who are spoiled with a false entitlement to be unaware. You're going to hate me for interrupting your protective bubble and for not being interested in your "simmer it down there Chicken Little" attitudes.
The OP to this thread would make anyone extremely angry and extremely passionate...if they are capable of swallowing their gut reactions long enough to verify or refute what I am saying. But the reaction in this thread has been 99.9% about preventing people who say uncomfortable things, from being taken seriously. It's about to come down to a forum police action in order to remove someone who is saying uncomfortable things - not because he is a problem, but because forum members value their American right to oblivion, above all.
