Thanks for the reply. Respectfully, I never claimed to have evidence, nor made any statements of fact. I did say that this story seemed to “confirm my suspicion”. Further, ad hominem attacks undercut the validity of the person, who makes them. It’s fine to disagree with a point of view, but terms like “retrograde minds” and “brain dead” undercut the argument.

Well, I understand and my apologies if I offended. Yes, I know you did not claim you had evidence, so why make the charge? That was my whole point. Wild, unsubstantiated claims do reflect on the person making them, too. I get it - it’s easy to do, but all of us should do better to be thoughtful and that includes me. Have a good weekend.
