Devil's Advocate : One who argues against a cause or position, not as a committed opponent but simply for the sake of argument or to determine the validity of the cause or position.
That applies to both sides.
Just because some people may not like it does not mean I deserve to be falsely painted as one thing or another.
One could simply say that they do not like it, and me for it. That I can accept.
Being falsely accused and expected to accept it as if I did something wrong I cannot accept.
And I think a logical person would agree.
I think the fact of the matter is, some do not like the questions I have asked because they seem to be questions that CT people use as 'proof' of conspiracy. And in that, people think I am trying to trap someone into something with it. Which is not the case.
I ask questions about things I do not have as much information on. I was encouraged by some to ask questions and people would help me with sources to answer my questions. I do not see my fault or failure in any respect.
YOu can pretend all you want that people don't like the questions you ask which are all questions asked here on a regular basis and answered on a regular basis by the people you feel don't like the questions. But we all (including you) know that isn't true. if people didn't like the questions, they wouldn't come to a forum where those questions are expected to be asked. Now if this was not a conspiracy forum, you might have a point.
But what people don't like are other masquerading around on a screen name thinking that using a certain name gives them permission to pretend they are open minded and to insult the intelligence of everyone here by thinking everyone is too stupid to know any better. If you were actually being honest, you wouldn't need to come up with a special screen name for such a purpose, you would just be a normal person like everyone else asking questions. Everyone here asks such questions regardless of what they believe. But they don't dance around a screen name to justify their questions. And they don't pretend to be something they are not.
