You're not the only one.
No one should take any form of warning as a demand to be prepared. It is just a warning and everyone must make their own minds whether to heed, or
not to heed such a warning.
If you are an adult you can make up your own mind whether or not you should be preparing, right?
BTW, I do agree that the OP went a little overboard with the insults, but you also went a little overboard on your own way.
The OP believes what he read in the web-bot, and your response was to ask him if he would take responsibility for the actions of other ADULTS
regarding this warning?....

I see your point and can see how someone would understand my questions as being out of line or place. However the way I feel is that regardless of
which forum a post is made - be it the political forum or the alien forum or the paranormal forum or the predictions forum as is the case - I can't
see why questioning said post is considered the wrong thing to do.
You are saying I have no right to make a question regarding how people that make or post predictions feel in terms of the responsibility of their
claims. That is your point of view but I think it is a pertinent question.
I'd even take it further - regardless of this being a predictions forum I think when someone makes a prediction if it turns out to be false they
should come back admit they were wrong and apologise to anyone they may have deceived -
not because I don't like them or their claims - simply
because that is in my opinion the only way to have a serious discussion about any subject and if as you said the people posting these predictions have
a belief that is important to them it would be in their own best interest to discuss the subject seriously.
So I'm sorry but I don't agree with the argument that if I disagree with a prediction I shouldn't be posting. If that was the case then the
predictions forum would just be a cult-like forum where only
believers can post which I really don't think fits ATS's very intentions (
in
any of its forums). In any case since when did disagreeing with something or someone became a bad thing or an insult? Since when is asking a
question the wrong thing to do?
Cheers.
