Opinions or outright insults repeated over and over? There’s a difference and that’s my point. The post you are responding to makes my point. You launch into the tired onspiricy theory lines and even go so far as to assume I’m on the “Q” thread (never read or posted on it, don’t even know what “Q” is all about) which you clearly look down on and equate anyone with a concern about the vaccine with your disdained Q people. Your statements were designed to insult— me personally on this response and others here who disagree with you. You are claiming I am doing what you are in fact doing and was calling you out about. You will never see that because as your posts show, you are blinded by your smugness.
This is silly. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about conspiracy theories. You don’t want anyone to post anything negative about them. You take it personally, even though no one here has called a conspiracy theorist. You started out complaining, before anyone posted anything at all to you.
I’m not the only one here who thought you might be more comfortable on the Special Q Thread, aka “the walled garden”. No one will make fun of conspiracy theories there. It’s not allowed. Most of the “clot shot” conspiracy theory threads start out there. You don’t have to be a Q follower, and won’t get into trouble unless you object to any of their conspiracy theories. Try it, you might like it. Can’t hurt.
Maybe you should go back and read your own posts and check for insults. You’ll find plenty. I started out being polite and kind and infinitely patient with the Q followers and their fellow travellers. All I got in response was insults, name calling and ridiculous accusations. Now I sometimes give back as good as I get. Sometimes I ignore them. Some come here just to insult others.
I’ve relentlessly been called a $hot$hil even though I have never urged anyone to get vaccinated. I have been called a “mudblood” even though I am unvaccinated. And called much worse, not fit for a family site. Well, that’s their problem, not mine. If you want people to be “nicer” here, maybe you should start with your own side first, get your own house in order.
I have stated over and over there are legitimate reasons to be concerned about the vaccines and I have my own concerns. I am steadfastly anti-mandate. I think crazy conspiracy theories about snake venom and 5G-activated magnetic mind-control nabobots and malaria parasites, etc., in the vaccines hurt that cause and make us look foolish. Your opinion my differ — it’s a “big tent” forum and there will be differing opinions.
I have no problem whatsoever with skepticism. I do have a problem with false information and manipulated statistics. Some people here are looking for real facts.
I also have a problem with articles like this one, where the author did not do due diligence researching his claims and the site owner did no fact checking before publishing. It took me only seconds to find out Neal Nolan died of a drug overdose, Hailey Bieber had a congenital heart defect, Tony Sirico was 79 and died of dementia, etc. Why didn’t they check instead of assuming? Gateway Pundit doesn’t have the best reputation on FR anyway, and likely elsewhere. He needs to be more careful.
You seem to want all of FR to be one big Special Q Thread where no one is permitted to criticize conspiracy theories. Why? We already have a special thread for that. You will be welcomed there. Give it a whirl.
