‘I encourage you all to keep seeking the truth.’
The Anna Toot theory is the antithesis of a search for the truth. People who genuinely seek the truth do not use any means necessary to silence differing views. The only people who engage in slander and lies to silence those who disagree with them are people defending seeking to evade the truth.
Here are a few examples. Honest, open debate would mean death to the Man-made Global Warming theory. Therefore the proponents use every tool at their disposal to delegitimize and silence opposing views. They aren’t seeking the truth; they are suppressing it.
Ditto the proponents of Political Correctness. The purpose of the entire construct is to silence opposition. The tenets of PC could not survive a fair and open debate. Therefore PCers attempt to silence the opposition, and to the extent they are able, even to criminalize it. [Similar to vilifying a person merely for mentioning a highly respected conservative like Jack Cashill. The goal is not truth, but suppression.]
Islamists certainly use the same approach. While in the minority, they resort to coercion, manipulation, and slander in an attempt to silence any discussion of the horrors of Islam. As their population grows, their methods of silencing the opposition escalate.
Look back through this thread. There is some sickeningly malicious and vile gossip in certain posts. It’s not there in pursuit of the truth. It’s there solely in an attempt to silence dissent. It’s repulsive and disgusting, and is incompatible with anything related to truth. But it’s a method that has been supported by proponents of the Anna Toot theory from the beginning. Truth has never been the objective. The objective has always been to attack, and if possible destroy, anyone who disagrees. This should embarrass and mortify anyone who genuinely seeks the truth.
(Note also the cultish behavior. Anyone who supports the Anna Toot theory = good. Anyone who doesn’t support it = bad. Pure cultish manipulation. Honest, decent people do not behave this way—or approve of those who do.)
Fantasywriter, you are the one acts like they are from Never-Neverland. There has been no slander or lies or malicious gossip as you describe. It’s truly all in your head and the discussion continues. Your comment is an attempt to shut down open conversation and debate and it has been repeated ad nauseam. Your opinion differs, big freaking deal, no one really cares. I know that I don’t. People don’t always agree, deal with it based upon facts rather than whiney ad hominem attacks.
No one is going to reverse course because you have no authority and have been ineffective in proving your point. No one here is forced to ‘goose-step’ to your commands any more than they are inclined to accept the false premises of Billy Ayers. Between Ayer’s lies people here continue to ferret out the truth.
Your continuous objection to Anna Toot leads me more inclined to accept that there is something important there to the name, Anna Toot. Anna Toot is not Stanley Ann, it is a distinctive name from a much more reliable source than Ayers. It’s doubtful a man would confuse the name of his wife when writing to or telephoning his family.
The real question should be...Was there ever really a Stanley Ann? It’s a really horrible name for a baby girl. Oh yea, I’ll name my daughter Larry Sue, Mikey Lynn or Donald Marie. Or was her real name Shirley? That’s what her very own Aunt called her. She should know her only niece’s name.
No one calls their Grandmother Toot or Toots or Tootie. It’s as derogatory and disrespectful today as it would have been in 1960. Just because Billy Ayers wrote it doesn’t make it true. In fact the more he detailed and focused on this issue, the more you should be certain that he’s cloaking a problem with the truth.
Truth is the objective regardless of where opinions may differ. You are unable to accept varying opinions and discussion and that is your own sad little frustration. Rather than be so distressed and unhappy, why not just choose another thread.
