My two cents:
We have supported some stupid threads in the past and no doubt we will support stupid threads in the future. But we have to keep that to a minimum and
not forget the real issues at hand here.
While this is a statement of truth We at ATS must also understand that we recieve new members on a daily basis who have questions, both young and old,
and We recieve new members too, who have personal agendas, issues, are paid disinfo agents, etc., etc.
Things like this are not going to stop because ATS is on a forefront, but actually increase because of it. Get used to it, and understand that we the
people do have a choice regarding belief, conviction, and integrity.
Some people are here strictly for the entertainment value ATS presents, and we're not talking about entertainment from events, but entertainment from
the responses they will get from people's reactions. Intelligent folks once again have a choice to either participate in the circus act or ignore
it.
That's the most important aspect ATS gives it's members...
Choice.
Only when we mature, and we understand
This is an aspect that ATS will inevitably deliver, if those of intelligence continue to manifest understanding towards those with questions we may
view as stupid, because we at ATS have already gone the course with such things, and understand them better. We need to allow others the same freedoms
to excercise thier choice to investigate.
Together we can do anything!
This is a statement based on fact. The more "togetherness" we allow via denying ignorance, the more "togetherness" we will achieve.
Be polite when responding in threads and constructive, we arn't here to hurt eachother but to teach/learn from eachother.
This is once again another statement of fact, however people of intelligence once again understand that there are some folks that join ATS strictly
for the entertainment value of people's reactions... And they will never 'comply' to reason because of that reason...
We must be mature enough to ignore them.
