"People" do realize that — which is why the SECOND POST in this thread was a gentle attempt to do precisely what you have proposed.
Did Grizzly bother even to read it? Who knows?!
Yes Simulist that was a polite request. (The third post in the thread about disinfo not so much.)
The wrinkle is Grizzly isn't obligated to read it or respond to it just as you would
no doubt not be obligated to check out some links I suggested to you because
I felt you weren't sufficiently qualified to post a youtube video on a subject.
No matter what the rough consensus is on some issues and attempts to educate
others on the issue are, they are just requests for the other person to share your
point of view. If they don't, then they don't. If the topic is too sensitive or painful for someone
to discuss with those who are green in the matter or wholly ignorant then maybe
it is beneficial for them to not do so on a public conspiracy (deep politics, whatever) forum.
To give a much more sillier example: freuschmen's Subject titles drive me batty with,
what I believe is, their opaqueness and non-sequitur nature related to the post content. I have expressed my
displeasure, requested more clarity and even suggested alternate title possibilities.
But if he chooses not to- then that is his prerogative. He's either unwilling/unable/too busy/ or it's not a high enough priority and
I'm not going to knock him because he doesn't share my point of view or recognize my supposed expertise
in the matter.
