There's a little crew of old men who deliberately try to disrupt any discussion about IOMIB or 279. They usually try that old trick of attacking the messengers rather than the message, slagging off things they say, or trying to get personal about them, rather than entering into a discussion.
 
The plan, which sadly always works, is a well-engineered one. Cause anger and upset on a thread, get it closed down or removed, and therefore successfully hide the awful truth about the things that are going on behind the scenes.
 
It's a very similar organised activity that you'll see replicated in some of the cult religions when they are being exposed for what they are. They aggressively disrupt and destroy debate until all that's left is their voice and their propaganda and party line, and all the free thinkers are too frightened to say anything.
 
Oh well. At least we encourage free thought here!

You have been reading too many books of pure fiction! – we all want free thought and expression of opinion, but their is no need for anyone to get nasty about it or making personal attacks individuals.

People have always asked me why I do not swear, and the simple answer like smoking I have never had the need to!

Discussion is good and being able to accept each others opinions.
