In an effort to prove a point I recently made the mistake of referancing ATS during a discussion with friends. I was trying to illustrate a point, and
have done this in the past with great success.
The following day the ridicule thrown at me was pretty sad.
The thing of it was that I did prove a point and illuminate an area of thought for someone by using ATS as a point of referance. The problem was that
they also looked at some of the other nuggets of wisdom thrown about on these threads and concluded I get most of my insight from grade school
students with a petty poor grasp of the english language.
ATS is a great site with great contributors, but its begining to feel more like a social networking forum rather than the site of exploration and
knowledge it used to be.
For those that are still inquiring into the world around them, I highly recommend
"
Extaordinary popular delusions & the madness of the crowds" By Charles Mackay published by Random House from the first edition dated
1841.
Its not as glamorous as Scully and Mullder, but the Truth is in there.
