Re: Busted in a huge way! WARNING TO YOU ALL, PLS

In this we are in perfect agreement, although, it doesn't address the issue at hand. I agree that in general people aren't exactly rational when it comes to what they are afraid of. I also agree that both sides of every opinion has the right to be heard. I think that it is wrong to call another poster a liar straight out but I don't think it is wrong to question them on the validity of what they have said.

A conversation where two or more people discuss the ideas they have presented is what is happening between us, but then, I didn't come into the movie theatre and shout fire and then run away either as I feel the original poster did.

IF they had come back and followed up on thier post then certainly a better understanding of thier actual position could be found. As it is, there is just as good a chance that it is true as there is that it isn't.

That was my point (as I have stated many times) and that is the point you dissagree with. Of course I will agree with what you have just posted. There are many publications that deal with the subject. There are also many publications that deal with deflection and avoidance issues.

To that end, I will always agree with what makes the most sense to me and in this case, fear isn't supposed to be a rational emotion. Am I worried at all about the govt kicking down my door? Not even a little but I don't order from any IOPs. To those who do it may be a legitimate concern.

My question is that who are you or anyone else to determine what is and isn't a rational reaction to the potential fear a suspicious thread like this can cause?

I have posted that I am merely giving my opinion and am very open to the fact that it is no more important or correct than yours or anyone elses. I don't see the same coming back though.
