I have said it before and I will say it again.
If we continue to entertain the absurd "debunkers", we are wasting time. Their mission is to stall progress. It is a relatively easy task for them
to do (it pays minimum wage), they just, and I quote their mission statement here...
"personally engage the 'would-be' detective and challenge EVERY assertion made as if it were the most ridiculous statement ever made. This will
bog them down in personal attacks, drive out the uncommitted parties, and derail the 'investigation'."
Un-quote.
The solution to this organized campaign to obstruct the search for truth is this.
1. Have a personal set of criteria by which you judge the merits of a poster and their position.
2. Do not assume anyone is trying to obstruct, but do not assume they are NOT trying to obstruct.
3. Use this same criteria on someone you KNOW to be telling the truth, in other words, test your criteria to make sure it is sound.
4. Once you have determined you have a "perp", by all means use IGNORE, do not engage. They will remain employed because of YOU.
In a debate, the parties meet and shake hands before and after. On ATS, the parties do not meet, and they do not shake hands. We are the cast of a
play that allows anyone, even our enemies, to participate, for the benefit (or detriment) of a broad audience. If you remember your lines a little
TOO WELL, maybe you are indeed reading a script.
