The ad hominem I’ve seen tonight put me squarely back in the Q-hoax corner. It was *persuasive.*

Truth is truth and cannot be determined by feelings.

I'm sorry you are letting your quest for truth be influenced by your feelings. I would like to apologize on behalf of the Q nation and ask you to stick around with the caveat that you don't seek to discourage our efforts.

The truth is out there.

Signed,

David Duchovny

Feelings have nothing/zero to do with it. There is simply a fundamental difference between the way people defend the truth and the way people defend a hoax. I’ve observed this over a period of decades. To see an illustration, take global warming. You wouldn’t even need the facts to know it’s a hoax. Just look at the way the true believers try to destroy, slander and silence the “deniers.” That alone tells you global warming is a fraud.

People who have the truth use facts, evidence and logic. They steer clear of ad hominem bc it only interferes with their desire to set forth the factual argument for the truth. All they ask is a polite forum in which to make their case—and questions are always welcome; they provide an additional opportunity to lay out the facts.

Again, I’ve seen the methods used here tonight. Personal attacks of ‘deniers,’ have been the rule, not the exception. I’ve drawn the only conclusion possible.

Sometimes you sound more Christian than I.
