There are some posters whose opinions I value. There are some posters whose opinions I respect because they are well thought-out, but know I will always disagree with. There are some posters I sometimes agree with and sometimes don't, depending on the topic.

Then there are the posters to whom I give no validity at all.

When the posts are not consistent in core beliefs, that's a red flag - one can't tell if the poster actually believes something, will believe anything, or is trolling.

When the posts tend to be incoherent due to poor grammar, spelling, and syntax, making the poster appear uneducated and/or ignorant, that's a red flag. When the poster appears to be seeking attention rather than the truth, that's a red flag.

When a poster exhibits 2 or more red flags, as far as I'm concerned the posts are useful merely for their entertainment value, if that. I've seen 3 flags on this thread.

Yes, even a stopped clock is correct twice a day - but who wants to depend on a stopped clock?
