mandela effect shut up!

In case the box around this text isn't clear: This is completely MY OPINION ONLY.

Mandela Effect threads that are posted in Skunk Works or Grey Area are perfect for those that want to post them.

Here's why:

Both the Skunk Works and Grey Area forums do not require any proof or evidence.

Grey Area is for those with some sort of personal experience, but have no proof or evidence of anything. Skunk Works is for High Speculation of anything, with no evidence or proof required.

People that post ME threads do not have any proof. Just extremely wild claims. ME is suppose to be all in their heads only.

This is a perfect subject for those who want attention, want to feel special, want to be treated special, with very little effort, and no proof on their part.

It's also a trap. Any who do not believe in ME, can not argue. Or you can, but it will be to no avail. You see: no proof is required in those forums, AND.....ME is something that is faith based. They can make any claim they want, and there is absolutely NO WAY anyone can technically prove them wrong.

Of course that's a two way street: there is absolutely NO WAY for they to prove they are right.

You will notice that the most successful ME threads are not those with the best story or idea. The most successful (and by successful, I mean having many pages, lots of stars and flags), are the ones that the skeptics come in and argue until they are blue in the face.

Every thread ends up the same way:

"It happened."
"No it didn't"

"It happened."
"No it didn't"

"It happened."
"No it didn't"

Yah...real quality threads (rolling my eyes here).

Now I have to stress this: The following is absolutely MY OPINION and is not a reflection of ATS or ATS Staff.

Hate ME threads? Fine.

STOP FEEDING THEM!

Don't post in them. Don't even read them. Don't even bother to click on the thread.

ME people want attention. Even if that attention is people posting against it and arguing with them.

If you stop feeding them with posts in their threads, all they will get is the "Yes I believe!" posts....and after a while, that will be all.

This will be boring to them...not to mention others coming in to their thread with their own stories. You can only pat each others backs for so long.

So it's that simple: If ME threads bother you that much, just don't read them, and certainly do not post in them. After a while they (the ME people) will figure it out. You're done playing their game. Don't worry, they'll find something else to troll the boards with.

In the mean time, I have to read them, to make sure people behave. What I do is treat them as someone's short story.
