I understand thackney’s point of view. It is discouraging.
I don’t engage at all in political threads anymore. It is like the old proverb about teaching a pig to sing.
Thackney is one of the people on FR I regard as knowledgeable sources on various subjects, and Thackney’s is the energy sector. When I want a more accurate answer, I can make direct contact if I need to.
It is why I stopped watching news and reading newspapers. You only get what they want you to read or hear, and as we have seen, they have their own agendas. I stopped trusting them decades ago.
I hate this type of discourse on FR. It reminds me of “Four legs good, two legs bad” chanting. So I have recused myself from all that here, but I still pay and come back for the other stuff.
I fully understand that FR is all about freedom of speech, and I often don’t agree with what people say and just as often, don’t like the way they say it, but...I have determined I have to wear the big boy pants, and if that makes me a coward so I can live life, then so be it.
It is people like Thackney that compel me to to pay for and come to FR. Thackney, if you are out there, I hope you come back someday, when this is all done.
Just wanted to add my voice to yours and to the others here on this thread—I miss thackney’s insight on all things energy.
I sincerely hope he returns.
