[QUOTE="Ulorian - Agent of Chaos, post: 9455646, member: 16668"] Look... to me, what happened is pretty clearly what you laid out. The facts, common sense, human nature... all of these back up what you're saying. But speaking of human nature... folks need to have their world view validated. It's scary when that world view is threatened. So people will stand behind things which seem nonsensical to others because it makes them feel safe and that their fears are noticed and acknowledged. All human beings, you and me included, are guilty of this to some degree. Until we get to a point where human beings can look at their lives and the world around them objectively, as in not clouding the lens with their own personal hurts and resulting biases, we're going to have these arguments. I'm pretty tired of talking about the Pinkertons. But maybe you're right... maybe it is worth rehashing this, despite what I said earlier. I'm not sure what the answer is. Have at it though...
