It's unfortunate that you feel this way as this was a very interesting find. It took a ton of courage to come here with it, not only because of the
subject matter, but because of these ridic trolls that just love to TRY and suck the positivity and intelligence out of the more interesting and
thoughtful threads.
I can understand why you asked for the thread to be closed, it is like some people will go on and on and on just to have the very last word,
especially if it doesn't mesh with the opinion of the OP.
My theory is either they just weren't loved enough as a child and/or they have very low self confidence in the "real" world, or they are/were
bullied so they come to forums such as this in order to bully/push back, or they are paid trolls. It's as simple as that, IMHO.
Now, I don't mean EVERYONE who has a different opinion, but there are some members that have posted a ton, in a relatively short amount of time, and
for the most part they argue the OP's POV, no matter what the subject. I love a good debate, but when a person sets out to argue any OP, in just
about every thread they post in, well then, it's something else, entirely.
I've learned a lot on ATS, about all sorts of things, and have found there are some really incredibly bright individuals who contribute some pretty
amazing research, stories, and theories to some of life's most mysterious subjects. So, I have no plans on leaving, lol.
I just wish there was an ignore button, where you could ignore certain members...That would be ideal and make ATS just about perfect for me.
Thanks again, OP...I really enjoyed this thread!
