Wow! You said more here in this thread than you did from the thread that it is question!
I contributed to that thread, not to cry hoax, but rather to get the OP to give us something more than her opinion. The problem with that thread is
that a very enticing, high-profile subject is created and stuck in a forum that receives a great number of views. My belief is that if you stick
something in those forums, especially if you claim to have evidence or proof, then I would like to see more from you than just your opinion. And I
find it very odd that someone can post said matter in those forums and NOT expect to have the evidence scrutinized and rational thought applied to it
first. In my world, I try to eliminate the obvious before moving on to the supernatural or extraterrestrial. I'd venture that most of us are the
same.
I tried very hard to get more analysis out of that thread, especially when the OP claims she is an expert and cites this as her rationale as to belief
in the girl and her video. I believe most of the posts towards the end were out of sheer frustration in trying to figure out just exactly what the
intent of the OP was. Was this tread based on said evidence in the video or was the thread created simply because the OP believed the girl, so
therefore she put the thread up so that we all could believe it too?
As far as negative star ratings, I'm not really sold. I can understand why you would want it, but I believe that this could cause the thread to
receive more negative attention than it deserves. Whereas people might not post on a thread that doesn't interest them, those same people might be
more inclined to contribute in a negative fashion if they see a thread that contains many negative stars.
Ideally, the thread should be ignored. However, I find myself posting in some of these threads, simply because I am trying to "deny ignorance" and I
try to make points in those threads that help to do this.
