Yeah, it seems to be equal opportunity

This is all predictable as some folks are just going to take a personal burn to certain issues and hence respond in kind. Subsequently I am beginning to unplug from a number of threads.

Will you please learn how to use the quote feature. You're post above attributes words to me I never said.

I said there was no evidence of what coralway claims by any "poster on this thread", or by "any poster on this thread in any other thread".

Please read again and acknowledge your previous misreading.

I agree Bucco! I know that I haven't put the time and energy into this forum like I used to. I would post honest and rational information, do research on both sides of an issue, provide numerous links with white papers and unbiased studies...only to have them picked apart by folks on this forum who apparently are so highly intelligent as to be above reproach and never wrong. I'm not always right, but I am willing to learn and find truth and admit that I have been mistaken. There are several posters here from whom I have learned ALOT!!! But, going forward on this forum, there are times when there is truly no point.

Ditto!! Our feelings are simpatico on this subject.

One poster recently said they always research both sides of an issue and would only post results from unbiased studies - and then have them picked apart from others who believe they are more intellingent than the authors of the unbiased studies.

I find those statement to be differing in what they have posted in the past. The person does have the skills to look up information on a subject and does so quite well - but only will admit to one point of view.

I can feel her passion for her subject matter and therefore do not argue of it anymore with her. Please, though, do not say you post only from unbiased studies. You are a very intelligent person as shown from your writings. I would like to see a more open mind so there can be teaching, learning, and not just preaching. Do not take this in a negative way as it is not meant to be negative toward you at all.

Did this person use the words "only"? Did this person state that they ONLY post results of unbiased studies?...I think not.
Do you know from whence that person came? and what changes that person has made in their mindset on certain issues? Do you know what CHOICES that person has had to make and what TRUTHS that person has learned with much pain and humbling of mind?... I think not.
Skills to look up information?...or experience and hard fought learned difference between facts and fiction.
Have you even so much have cared to ask why that person has such passion for certain subjects?...I think not.
You may say nothing negative implied to this person...THIS TIME...seems to me that this person has been beat up numerous times by you-slandered, mis-interpreted, ridiculed for assumed religious beliefs over scientific facts, mis-quoted, etc... BUT, I am certain that no offense is taken for any past, present or future repeats of such.
