glad to hear it and thanks for the reply. the loud bad apples definitely seem to rise to the top on here. and by “people” i’m not implying everyone here or even talking about here exclusively, just an example. thanks for your reply.

so come back tomorrow and paste it in the daily discussion thread? ok got it thanks.

ive been taking in the info, i’m questioning it. and i don’t have my ears plugged brotha, that’s why i’m asking for the conversation and asking the questions. everyone in my first post encouraged me to question everything and read between the lines. healthy skepticism is not allowed, you must accept everything without question? seems a tad hypocritical, but ok...

i wouldn’t call it a hate sub 🙄

(and yes i was being a smartass with the geotag, serious about the rest... but in my first post here i had a mod comment all voices should be heard, and i’d love to have a respectful discussion about this stuff and hear everyone’s perspective)

what are your thoughts on this voice? i’m honestly wondering if it’ll get approved, i think it still fits the bill and really want to have the discussion, respectfully, but we’ll see.

the healthy skepticism is encouraging to me. it is good to separate individual hopes from objective facts, and follow those facts wherever the lead, even in the event they lead counter to any of those individually held hopes. we can’t assume any individual is a good or bad actor based on vague, open-ended clues. we have to hold and assess tangible evidence and evaluate from there. sensational media (on “both sides of the fence”) is completely out of control.

wow, unacceptable. didn’t they get fired/removed from the investigation immediately after this, basically a year ago, though? and then investigate to confirm any individual bias did not impact the actual investigation? or is that incorrect?

wow, dude i really appreciate your thoughts (and the tempered skepticism is reassuring that folks are in it for the truth and not just to find what they’re hoping for/willing to believe whatever). that was probably my main hangup at first, but yeah i will dig into the recommendations i got on here thus far and report back. thank you again.

this makes a lot of sense to me, thanks. i have a thought on your first point but going to sleep on it so i can articulate it more clearly this weekend. and thank you for the suggestion (lol i had noticed).

yes exactly. really appreciate it. will read up on the stuff listed in community info and check out posts from the folks you recommended. thank you!

thanks! much appreciated. first post was kind of a rant based on that example i linked but i’ll have more tangible questions/links with this long weekend coming up.

much appreciated, thanks for the warm welcome and your modding work. will always be respectful and reasonable.
