Why do I feel threatened?

Well, not so much on this forum Tim. Though I was sad to see Linda depart from here. But over on Skeptiko things were sometimes a bit crazy, and I actually kept out of many threads, saying nothing. But my support was with Linda and various others. I have expressed this sentiment before. That is, we loosely termed 'proponents' generally represent the voice of reason in the face of denial and nonsense coming from the mainstream. But at some point and on certain topics, those roles were reversed, delusion was very clearly coming from a different direction.

What I think I'm really saying is that I hold my own opinions - based on facts and research of my own. Whether that sees me aligning with one group or another is neither here nor there. I'm not particularly 'tribal' in my views, I'm not willing to simply follow the herd.

Thanks, Typoz. Weird, isn't it, I never ever thought you had any sympathy at all with that poster. I didn't have any at all, in fact my reasons and thoughts go far beyond that (as to why)  but I won't elaborate for obvious reasons.
