That is now enough of serious insults towards members here. No one has swallowed anything hook, line, and sinker, and the notion that the CIA has managed to persuade anyone here of anything is as insulting as it is risible.

Tone the ad hominems down.

I can comment from the distance of not having participated in this discussion, not analyzing various components of a long thread.

Your tone and manner puts me off. There is both a sensibility and a method of discussion here, which of course, one gets over time; can't be expected to absorb all at once.

We've probably all crossed the line on occasion, but here you keep it up, and ignore suggestions.

One sign humans might progress is that they recognize that others may hold divergent views without being CIA stooges.

Please don't upset your case officer.
