re: #7 Obdicut It was the way you talked about him being hoodwinked. I see a clear distinction between an intelligent person who lacks up to date information and someone who is hoodwinked (I read that as duped).

You are fine to share information it just sounded condescending the way you phrased it. It also sounded very much like people who assume their neighbor or child is not as enlightened as them “if they could know the truth” type approach.

I see you didn’t intend that to be condescending but it strikes me as counterproductive when some Lizards use lables like denier and terms like hoodwinked. Just because you are probably correct and have discussed it in detail previously doesn’t mean that others are going to be attracted to better information by being called deniers or other tems that implies they are duped.

Its a fine point but one I see sticking in the craws of a lot of potential flouncers who otherwise might be more open to new ideas if treated in a less condescending manner.
