Yes, I only want to talk to people here who are supportive of the movement. That leaves room for disagreement on specific facts and strategies. I will not be spending any time debating with people who are on this forum full time in order to undermine the movement. I've done that before and it leads to burnout, the subject of my blog.

Among other things my blog is about dealing with dubunkers in a healthy way. So I better have some kind of strategy jumping into this lions den. My strategy, which they very often can't stand is to completely ignore everything they say. And that's what I plan on doing.

I agree that you can't see the truth just looking at one side. And you know what? I've been doing this long enough to have heard just about every argument that a debunker will ever say to me. And what I've learned is that they aren't all about the facts. They are about the argument. People like Mark Roberts are simply really good at arguing. They have nearly every possible response ready to go. Might as well be arguing with a computer.

Now that doesn't mean that what they say is logical. Most often it's more clever than logical. You might call it deceptively illogical. And I'm done with it. It's boring and pointless as I'm not going to be deciding that the movement is a total sham.

I should add that I'm a lot more skeptical than many who participate in the movement. And for that reason I actually agree with many things that people like Mark Roberts have to say about the movement. But that doesn't mean that it's productive for us to communicate.

Hey everyone! You can't hurt my feelings, make me feel small, or shake my confidence that what I'm doing is a good thing. And if you try I will ignore you.

That being said, it would be just as boring only to talk to people who completely agreed with me. The point is that I can tell the difference, very easily at this point, between someone who disagrees and someone who's here just to disagree.
