(8,219 posts)First of all, let me say that I'm also a CT believer, and I refuse to make excuses for that, here or anywhere else.
I am old enough to remember the day that JFK was murdered, and I've had a very difficult time these past few days. I find myself asking, "Was it really 50 years ago? It seems like yesterday." And I feel profound sorrow because I know, in my heart, that some of those who perpetrated that heinous crime are still walking free.
As to the anger you've observed (as have I), there appears to be a negative correlation between the level of anger expressed and how comfortable one feels with his or her stance. That is, the more anger, the less their certainty.
Furthermore, there are those on this site who seem to revel in ridiculing anyone who questions any of a number of official narratives perpetrated by the Government.
More importantly, their posts seem to have a scripted quality, i.e., terms of ridicule are peppered throughout the post, which is usually lacking in substance, and then there's one word at the end, usually on a separate line, that wraps it all up. Frequently it's a word such as "pathetic".
This tends to engender a visceral reaction in the reader. Who wants to be ridiculed for their point of view? But a little thought will show that it's only an attempt to manipulate with ridicule what one can't support with logic.
Furthermore, I think some of the individuals who engage in this tactic have been TASKED, by person or persons unknown, with keeping a lid on any untoward investigation of the issue.
I don't know about anyone else, but this just encourages me to investigate further.
We should all learn to ignore those who are trying to waste our time with trivialities.
