WE are heartless? They are human? Please. Where is your respect for people, I ask.
while i was posting at LC, i was ridiculed constantly by those that were convinced that the US government orchestrated the 9/11 attacks. i would continually respond in a friendly manner, as i have an honest, genuine concern for the well being of those that may become sucked into this nonsense.
i was nice and i was respectful to the regulars, despite the fact that they bombarded me with insults. i continually replied calmly and rationally, you know, because i'm some "heartless jref".
to some extent, i'm angered that i've wasted so much time trying to help those that are willfully ignorant. i'm angered that the very folk i spent time attempting to help would ignore my track record, label me as "heartless", and then ban me.
to a greater extent, i'm depressed by the entire "truth movement". it's rather depressing that folk can become attatched to some idea to such an extent that they simply ignore evidence. it's depressing that these sorts can somehow attract new members, perpetually offering the same, debunked lies. it's depressing that a few people i personally know have fallen for this garbage, and that even when i've presented them with irrefutable proof that their evidence is bunk, they've not abandonded their positions. it's depressing to lose respect for friends that i once respected.
heartless? no. disheartened? yes.
