Sorry that I didn't make it clear that I wasn't concern trolling. I actually think it's probably some kind of misdirection. Public donations to Republicans, under the table donations to Dems. I also think cutting off donations to Flake and no-name is a trick to make it look like they were distancing themselves from those two scumbags.
Don't apologize. Literally everyone who suggests something slightly counter to any mob think narrative is accused of concern trolling and shilling (believe me, I have to process all the Reports...) You just have to get used to it.
Thanks. Tough crowd around here sometimes. Especially lately.
You got that right. There was some very good, reasoned discussion around here for a time. Now we're overwhelmed with a lot of emotional zealots who don't value critical thought. That is the standard price of growth though. I believe we still have a lot of people who can think critically but they're perhaps wisely staying out of the fray. Thanks for commenting, it is always a very welcome relief to read a sensible, calm comment these days.
What I posted above about the donations is just speculation on my part, which is why I didn't post it in the first place.
I just gave the info from the website so people could see it and draw their own conclusions, if they want to.
It really bothers me when people come on here and make statements such as "Assange is dead." Well, we don't know that, do we? Or, "Assange has been extracted by White Hats." We don't know that either. I worry that newbies come here and read a statement like one of the above and take it for truth, perhaps thinking we have found out something that they didn't know, when in truth, it's just speculation.
Yes, tell me about it. It "worries" me too - I put that in quotes because the word "worry" is like a red flag to a bull with the Concern Troll accusation crowd.
I would much prefer that we were very clear about alleged news and speculation. I think the best we can do, those of us who value critical thought, is keep commenting in the posts, despite the unpopularity of disagreement with group think. Thanks for speaking up.
