It's not a personal attack, so much as it's an observation in behaviour. When people's long-held thoughts and beliefs are challenged with credible and factual information people will find a way to reconcile that information with their own long-held beliefs in way that they don't have to fully accept it. So instead of being a little uncomfortable and actually growing and expanding in their knowledge and in their views, they find a way to keep their world views the same. They'll bargin and tell themselves whatever they can to keep this distressing information from making them feel uncomfortable.
Look, any one can have an opinion, but is your opinion informed and based on credible or factual information? And just for the record, there is no such thing as alternative facts.
Quite frankly, I could careless what a person's opinion is until they use their uniformed opinions to interfere with the rights and well-being of others or it is so uninformed and easily discredited through a little research, but is being presented as fact. And we seem to see a lot of this with your posts of conspiracy sites.
I can sit back and listen to your X22 reports and find information that I can certainly agree with and I can find credible and factual information to back up some of what is said in that podcast, but the vast majority is BS or misleading with only half truths and the rest is simply the podcasters personal opinion, which he is entitled to, and clearly reflects your views.
However, I'm capable of separating the BS from the plausible and/or possible through research. You on the other hand seem to buy in to all the information on those sites as the absolute truth; hook, line and sinker. I could be wrong in my assessment, but I believe you are probably very right-wing, religous, conservative and pretty much set in your ways.
My issue has never been with that, I could care less. In fact, If given the chance I would very much enjoy sitting down with you over a beer and having conversations on a number of different issues and I bet we could do it in a very respectful manner. I don't view myself as being conservative or liberal; right or left. I'll have a right or left-leaning views depending on what the issue is. I will admit I'll probably lean left on most issues, but certainly not all issues and in different degrees of how far I would agree on any left or right issue. The unfortunate problem with politics in the US is you can't seem do that. Once you delcare your view on a particular issue as conservatvie or liberal, you seem to have to be all-in on all the rest of the issues as being conservative or liberal or risk being ostrasized from the group, church, friends or family. That's not healthy for a society or for a country.
And it's not healthy for this bullboard either and that's where my issue is. Keep the religion, politics and conspiracy theories off the board, have those conversations in private chat. But if they are going to be brought up then it's all fair game.
