I see. So ATS should cater to the lowest common form of discussion and be 100% fear mongering paranoid propaganda with zero substance and no logic?
I mean it's got that in spades, but anyone who tires of the constant illogical posturing and voices their weary concerns in the form of contempt, are spoiling it?
2012 came and went. Did anything change?
ISON came and went. Did anything change?
Ahh well, we'll always have nibiru to carry us forward into the ignorant era of new age propaganda.
I am sure that little black dot in the picture I took of the sun with my $90 cmos camera is nibiru. I am sure. And those sprinklers, man look what they put in the water, all those colours. And you can't tell me that sun dog is a sun dog, I've seen sun dogs and thats no sun dog it's a ufo space ship decloaking.
I know. I read it on GLP.
You know the anti-fear mongerers occasionally if quite often invent the fear in the first place. I guess by doing this they can then either post a disagreement or rebuttal which is completely fine, or launch an offensive unwarranted attack of sorts.

Whats ruining this site is the cry babies that start a thread give an opinion then cry to the mods because they don't like someone else opinion.
Star.
The title of this thread is itself a cry for ridicule. "Anti fear mongerers?" What a laugh. As if being a fear monger is desireable.
And they're "ruining" the site as well!

Some of these I posted myself, mainly in the global meltdown forum, which is how I built my star and flags relative high compared to my number of posts. This s&f profile has barely moved over the past nine or so months. I just don't want to post here anymore.

What I don't understand is that if those forums are so despised by yourself, then why do you bother to visit them? I agree with some of your points here but at the same time I see where the OP is coming from. I sit back and read a lot of these threads and I see a number of members who I think go a little out of their way to ridicule and belittle the posters. Why are they so determined to thread kill? If they can't stand the topic, then leave it alone and allow others their entertainment, because in the end, that's what it is...entertainment. For me personally, there are a number of topics that as soon as I see them in the title, I don't bother to visit the thread, such as Niburu. It's that simple.

Well it would have been hard to make the point in the right language...what title :
People who constantly accuse others of Fear-mongering are ruining the site?
Going by the discourse on this thread alone I would say 80% of ATS users are disifo agents, 10% are functionally retarded, 9% are insane and 1% are apathetic.
Those that are really do need to earn their keep better.

Yes, I was just reading a thread in the dreams and predictions forum. Now granted the content of the thread was crazy, but the thread was speaking of dreams the OPer had. Yes, the dream had a predictive element to it, but it was part of the actual dream. I find it quite perplexing as to why members will visit the 'dreams and predictions' forum and get angry at a poster's 'dreams and predictions'.

So OP is suggesting people who question fear mongering are ruining this site?
or people who just like the sound of their words, calling everything they read FEar Mongering and oh yes...make sure you "deny ignorance". Talk about parroting is there a thread on here where that line is not used?

Exactly my point. And that could ruin this site because those attacks discourage people from making posts or threads, for fear of being ridiculed or attacked. IMO, that's what makes this site the best...all the different walks of life that participate in these threads with their dreams, fears, bad luck stories, breaking news information, ufo sightings, unsolved mysteries, and one of my personal favorites, ancient history. The list goes on, but you get my point. If people become afraid to post for fear of ridicule, then yes, the site will be "ruined"
So when others tried to show why the believer's predictions were false, we got the same vitriol and hatred that OP here is claiming believers get and yes it has been this way since at least 2008 when I joined.
again...there are plenty of examples but I still love to come back to 2012...it's still going and dates changing and so forth...it's junk science but we're supposed to believe it or be called a disinfo agent or 'not awake'
