In reply to the discussion: ERRORS in rebuttal to "Pandora's Promise" [View all]PamW
(1,825 posts)45. What's happened to HONESTY!!!
I believe the purpose of this forum is to give people good information.
With good information in hand; the people can draw their own INFORMED opinions.
However, more and more I see people that are out to "con" the good denizens of this forum.
We see more tactics like "playing word games".
Tactics like using / quoting old OUTDATED and OBSOLETE information.
Any tactic that can give people a FALSE impression is to be tolerated and exploited.
The idea is not to get good information to people so they can make up their own minds.
No - more and more it seems the goal is to get people DISTORTED information ( propaganda? ).
The idea force people to come to the same conclusion the author has already chosen for them.
If the author has to LIE, and promulgate PROPAGANDA; well that's just fine.
All that matters is that people join the author's pre-chosen opinion; even if they do it based on LIES.
Has it really come to that?
How about trusting our fellow forum members to make good decisions; when they are properly informed with
HONEST information.
What a concept.
