Topic: Attitude problems
I'm creating this thread so I can avoid feeling guilty about having helped to derail another thread by arguing off-topic points. 
Hopefully an entire "Battle Arena" category will remain unnecessary.
... that was what I was ‘testing’ by the way: can I give people wrong info and you don’t ‘sense’ it? You have made my point for me.
How do you know what other people 'sense?' You assume that you can know this based on how other people respond to your posts. But this idea is based on the premise that other people will feel compelled to respond to you in the first place. This is rather naive, if not downright foolish. I say this not to be mean, but just to make the point: Why would anyone bother to respond to your tests in the first place? Who the hell are you? Some anonymous stranger on a web forum, that's who. Intelligent people don't waste their time humoring every arrogant & presumptious person who comes along.
This forum is frequented by many HIGHLY experienced and intelligent people, some of whom know FAR MORE about these subjects than most people can dream of -- and some of them do not comment much even to each other, let alone to strangers. And they certainly don't humor the new teenager who seems to show up every month, who has read a few Zecharia Sitchin books and is now ready to "teach" everyone else about ancient history. These types never consider the possibility that half the NR membership may have already had dinner and krimpets with the same aliens who are giving Sitchin his info! 
Then they get upset that people are unwilling to listen. I exaggerate, of course, simply to make the point: if you think people not "catching" your misinformation implies they are ignorant, you had better check your premises. People have better things to do than prove themselves to you.
