The posts here, when it all began, had a massive amount of posters believing this garbage and NOTHING, no facts at all, could sway them.

I was just posting the facts of this matter and the history of it.

Obviously you took my comments the wrong way.

Fantasy and Sci-FI used to be just good, entertaining reads, with some Sci-Fi stuff actually coming true ( we did have men flying to and walking on the moon, for example ). But sadly, some parts of fantasy/Sci-FI dystopian fiction has now come to pass.

Apologies for misinterpreting you. I’ve seen many extremists go way too far on FR, and many so-called non-extremists going after sensible people who stay within the lines of reasonableness, though often touching the line with a toe. I let everyone live their own lives and beliefs as they rarely form so large a group as to endanger any major issue of importance. And as long as cults keep their fingers off my nearest and dearest, I’m perfectly happy for them to play Darwinian games of heading off together to strange planets and after-life experiences.

I love to look at the world thru happiness-tinted glasses. So I never read the dystopian sci-fi but stuck with the adventure and romance variants during my long sci-fi period. But, actually, real science was MUCH more fun.
