Except if anyone doesn't agree, you aren't capable of holding rational discourse on the merits of how they came to have their views.
Let's not confuse that this is, first and foremost, an outdoors forum. You are choosing to digress, I'm making an assumption, because you have very few other options available to you to publish your "truth".
It is a moderated forum, and we have recently seen it come back on track after months of infighting, and terrible behavior on the part of many who didn't like their views challenged.
Please note, I'm not arguing with you. Te pandemic has been difficult on a ot of people and their mental health. Isolation has produced a lot of people who have lost the ability to critically think. Not implying that this is you, simply pointing out that others have experienced the same.
Remember, confirmation bias is a real thing...I can find whatever I want online to support whatever argument I postulate. It is the credibility or those sources that rarely gets challenged, because all we want is confirmation.
