I am not sure who is worse, you or the snakecharmer guy.
Don't worry about Monteroy. He enjoys razzing people a bit (for the reaction, I think).
The nice thing about this thread is that there isn't a ton of moderation, so you're getting kind of the gamut of all views on the subject. Obviously we don't all agree on what is reasonable to say, but I don't think moderation (censorship) is going to help with seemingly largely diverging views like we have in this thread.
The same would go for a thread about UFO's. There will be roughly 4 groups of people.
1) I've seen a UFO, they exist.
2) I've never seen one, but I think they exist.
3) I've never seen one, and I doubt they exist.
4) You're a fool to think such a thing could exist because there's no proof.
or Religion
1) I've witnessed miracles, God exists.
2) I've not witnessed miracles, but I think God exists.
3) I've not witnessed miracles, and I doubt God exists.
4) You're a fool to think such a thing could exist because there's no proof.
I suppose that's why I also enjoy those topics as well. Both camps #1 and #4 are pretty much cemented into their positions and will not budge despite anyone else's "claims" of evidence. #4 will think #1 is being delusional or worse. #1 will think #4 is a part of "the system".
Those of us in the middle can get hate from either end for "being on the fence", but who cares? Sharing information is the goal here, not being the most popular.
