When asked to name them, EEGator said he had no proof and named no names. I know that Kart, myself, Marcella, and JRandomFreeper are just people with a concern for others and give suggestions that we hope will be helpful and maybe even save someone’s life.
As to the hysterics. In Missouri, we have lived through many tornadoes in our areas and seen their destructive power. Marcella has had similar experiences with hurricanes.
It is not hysterical to know there is danger and prepare for it. That's smart, intelligent, and helps us survive. I'd say an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Now Globull warming - there's something that EEGator’s quote could be applied to, but to equate the prepper threads with something like that is not only an insult and inaccurate, it could be a symptom of being divorced from reality, or stupidity, or both. JMHO.
My post reference is #15 where the original quote is and then there are several after that.
