The ATS Issues Thread, page 5

I went to the other side, and I listened to them. They make great points... but also... I had some problems here... I was banned, came back, was post banned... got REALLY frustrated... but instead of going on a tyrade, I decided to talk to the staff, and oh my gosh even SkepticOverlord took the time to respind! I found this to be quite surprising for a said entity that is supposed to be involved with shady dealings. if the staff really wanted to silence you forever from this site, they can. I just think you gotta use some common sense... and if you don't know something for sure, absorb both sides of the argument. I still have my suspicions, but I've shared those, people saw them, and they were good talking points. I think the staff jumped to conclusions about me too quickly. I simply am questioning both sides of this argument. Especially John Lear. He was always a good guy and I enjoyed him, but I don't know EXACTLY what went on. I've read some things that sound very very damning towards this site... but sadly, I don't know the situation personally.

I mean, for those who are bitter about it and don't wanna come back, that's fine. They feel like their speech is being infringed upon, and sometimes, so do I... but this ain't my site, and I don't know the real motivations behind them. So I've decided it's best just to enjoy what's here, instead of complaining about what's not. As of now, there is so much information available here, it's a great place to sit and research. Maybe some stuff gets censored, maybe the gov't comes in and creates disinfo and moves and shakes things a little, but this is a little fractal of society as a whole. EXPECT IT. We're not dealing with a bunch of untrue fairytales here. We're dealing with things that are national secrets, and you can die over national secrets. I guess use discretion and be smart, be aware, be questionable towards EVERYBODY, staff and members claiming foul play alike... deny ignorance, and until it is clear what you are dealing with, don't jump to conclusions and risk making yourself out to be a fool, or possibly hurting actual people with feelings. If they do things nefariously here, it will be revealed with time, and they will suffer the consequences. If not, great! Let's make it better anyway.

As for those disaffected,
I can respect their bitterness, and even feel it a bit myself because I've been there.
but ya know, can you really blame people for being a bit paranoid on a website that deals with paranoia... and in these VERY strange times... is it any wonder that this site comes under scrutiny??? I'm scrutinizing it, still... keeping little mental notes just in case... but I came back, and the very fact that the staff takes time out of the thousands of people here to work on an issue with one individual... I find it hard to believe that some nefarious entity who just wants money in cooperation with keeping the status quo would be so flexible and so accessible.

I don't see Alex Jones taking responsibility and time to explain his policies and his stances, and I believe that this site can rival that in comparison.
Is there a very real possibility that most of us are wrong and this could all be some front? Sure... but I don't know enough to make that decision. The 'evidence' looks damning... but unless you've investigated it yourself, you can't be sure.

I'm not sure. I'm just looking for answers. That's why I'm here in the first place.

best regards,

confused little indy
