This thread is about the wave of shills and trolls here lately. No one is judging the awake for having moments of weakness and doubt. We all have such days.
But no one should be polluting the board with that crap. Keep it to yourself, remind yourself of the facts, and pull yourself together before posting whiny doomer malarkey.
Frankly, anyone who isn’t 100% convinced there is a plan in the works should not be commenting. They should use that time to research so that they see what the rest of us see.
So that’s precisely what I don’t get. By your proposed restrictions, people only should comment if they agree, leaving no room for discourse.
I agree with you that if someone doesn’t understand something they should take the time to research, but if their own findings still lead to conclusions, why shouldn’t they come here asking critical questions? Why shut out those who doubt or who don’t understand?
Wouldn’t it be more valuable to take the time to show them what you have seen, and then teach them your point of view, rather than dismiss their questions and potentially shut them away from your ideology?
By demanding full acceptance before they can participate, you leave out a significant portion of people that could to more to better your community
Closed minds can be opened.
The easier you shut people out, the quicker your community begins to shrink.
That sounds nice but it's just not true. No one is going to quit GA because we don't allow doomer shills.
But they will leave if this place be taken over by doubters and concern trolls.
So the moment anyone expresses doubt they should be cast aside?
