Fair enough, Ron, and I do see we haven't been ignored (I think I should have said I ignored your discussion- I was so into the one with Amos)
I THEREFORE WISH in a non-shouting way, to apologise for accusing you of what I was doing.
(Note to self;more clarity when posting please)
I think we just have to keep our nerve and maintain our balance in the face of the wacky theories out there and the sensible-seeming people who subscribe to some of them; not to mention keeping a beady eye out for possible conspiracies.
Sites like this can be a way of helping in the process with the provision of accurate information and clarity of expression
One thing about which I don't know if anything can be done is when Mudcatters will nor read/face this, that or the other argument or set of facts.
(The lack of a God-like adjudicator is a major drawback - despite the offers of some 'catters to take up posts like that)
Cos I've noticed that if someone makes a brilliant argument, or comes up with knockdown info, their opponents simply disappear.
I rarely read, "Wow, I was wrong; you've convinced me."
And I still remember that phrase I came across a few times last year where people have changed their mind (on UK radio,e.g.). They have explained their previous erroneous view by saying,
"I didn't allow myself to............(know/hear/understand/listen)"
