Well, the unfortunate thing is that a "disinfo agent" is just as vague as a "potential terrorist" or "closet communist". Without a specific identifier, anyone who has a different viewpoint than you could be a "disinfo agent".

Just because the Governments of the world may fall prey to corruption, ineptitude and stupidity doesn't mean that the good need be thrown out with the proverbial bathwater. Sometimes Governments do good things too, and those that side with them, when they feel that what they are doing is morally right, doesn't make them a Tool or an Agent Provocateur.

Just because the MSM might taint much of it's News Reporting with bias, commentary and propaganda doesn't mean that they are always doing such. Sometimes they get it right and call a spade a "spade", or something that quacks a "duck". Even the most wacked Conspiracy Theorist or Prophetic Visionary gets a few right every now and then. So, why can't the MSM? Those defending one particular News Article doesn't make them in bed with the MSM or on the Media Payroll.

Just because someone condemns the actions of bad LEOs while reiterating that not all LEOs are bad doesn't make them an LEO or a Narc for the LEO.

The Motto of ATS is to "Deny Ignorance". Some of us here believe that simple Faith in one viewpoint, or closed mindedness is what causes ignorance to happen in the first place. Remaining open to not one, not some, but *ALL* possibilities, and exploring all possible viewpoints, is how many of us arm ourselves to keep from falling prey to ignorance. It doesn't suit anyone too root out the "disinfo agents" because even they help us achieve our denial of ignorance.

I agree that disinfo agents probably do exist on ATS, and some of them may even be paid, and some of them may just be morally misguided, and some of them unwitting patsies. However, they have just as much of a right to be here as the next person. Rather than worry about an unseen enemy, regard them as a helpful ally in your own personal quest toward denying ignorance.

Well I simply believe that most people do not or do not care to debate. They do not want to really have any view they hold challenged. IMHO if someone makes the effort to provide evidence at least we should look at it.

GOOD HEAVENS...We may actually learn something even if it is how weak the evidence is.

With deepest saracasm
