this makes me struggle with how to express skepticism without being a wet blanket or worse.
The exotic patent stuff always seemed thin to me. And people on here claiming insider status.. IDK. the further back in the account history i dig the more doubtful i get.

Discussing this is fine, and it should be questioned. More importantly in this case, it's "does the theory add up" versus which anon pieced it together.

Personally, I don't think you have to worry about it. You're fine. You're not a shill.
Some examples:
Users that respond off topic to a top comment, and continue to argue about the off topic comment. So now everyone actually discussing the subject is pushed further down the thread.
Or the users that reply to one comment with a reply broken up into two comments for no reason. They continue to respond to each comment with the similar responses. Again, derailing the thread.
It's a time waster. Especially when people start arguing off topic about thier woo-woo spirituality and trying to convert people.
Thanks I appreciate it. It's hard to go wrong with sticking to the intellectual side and keeping ego out of it.
I hadn't put a lot of thought into sliding tactics, i just focus on the content and history of any given poster. We slid into endless zombie shill fighting for so long that it's hard to keep a bigger picture. Must be way worse for a mod.
Frens, this is what GAW used to be like. Not constant MSM articles and shills derailing any productive analysis. Let this shine as an example!
Please feel free to join us and ask questions!

I didn't either until I became a mod.
Our loyal pedes on this site are wonderful. I wouldn't have learned about this stuff without their consistent reporting of comments.
