22. Naturally one person's conspiracy theory is another's

reality - it, like all else in life, all depends on your perspective (which is far more powerful than facts).

I can appreciate this site's attempt to keep it from becoming a lair for trolls who just want to disrupt and have nothing of substance to contribute, but everyone who argues a point that may sound bizarre to a DU jury is not crazy and irrational. Dismissing someone's ideas as beneath your consideration is something I have a problem with and it seems somewhat snobbish, but that could be a quirk of personality.

I've been dissed by the DU jury before, but I can take rejection. We all should be comfortable in our own minds and bodies without having to feel like the best route is conformity and fitting in with the crowd.
