213. SHOUTY-CAPS make you no more impressive or convincing

And your clear need to scold me betrays the need to feel superior that we were discussing upthread. Interesting. Why do you feel that way?

I haven't called anyone naive for refusing to agree with me but rather for refusing to admit even the possibility that this is a hoax perpetrated by a company that has recently executed exactly this kind of viral marketing campaign.

Those whom I have acused of wearing rose-colored glasses I have so accused for their explicit willingness to believe the sunny side of a story regardless of what reality might have to tell us.

And I've declared repeatedly that acts of kindness like he one shown are commonplace, whereas no more than one or two have agreed that Target is capable of this exact type of viral marketing ploy. Not even you.

Further, I have expressed my willingness to admit my error if I'm shown to be incorrect, while ony one other here has done so. Again, not even you; in a display of cowardice you insist that you've taken no position and therefore can't be proven wrong. That's both wishy-washy and intellectually dishonest, but not at all surprising from you.

What you describe as my "CONSPIRACY" theory would require the knowing participation of four or five people. Hardly a reptile overlords scenario, and it can easily be shown to be incorrect.
You are predictable and unimpressive.
