Reply #77: How did this get turned on me?? [View All]

Hi all, again,

The reason I have so many posts here isn't that I like saying the same thing over and over again. It is because a number of you jumped my case when I gave a dissenting opinion about this post.

I feel several of you ower me the courtesy of an apology for jumping me so hard. I dissented. In a forum like this why am I the one getting beaten to a pulp for addressing the clear fact that this post might very well be inteneded to send everyone spinning in non-sensical data. I never said don't read, but in fact said do read long enought to see this for yourself.

I have seen a string of similar posts presenting non-sensical data, and then people get frustrated, demoralized, etc. and leave. Whether intended as such, this post is toxic in that regard. I do not mind the topic and at one point read and read and read through all the gobbledeegook to see if anything was there. Then I realized that the post itself was the problem, not the issue. The data and the analsysis present each time I have seen a post like this has sent people to the dark ends of the earth trying to make sense of it.

My dissent was aimed at showing others that this post may very well be intended to manipulate us. And for my dissent I get labeled.

Several of you owe me an apology.
