I am noticing a certain trend in this forum. People are spouting 'facts' to back up their arguments, and often these facts are highly disputable.When questioned on their views or sources on of three (or all of three) steps are taken by the perpetrator.
1. Change the subject or post irrelevant subject matter in order to distract others.
2. Attack the person questioning them, and make further questionable claims.
3. Run and hide, no longer posting in the thread and hope that no one notices.
Has anyone else noticed this? If so, does it annoy you also and why the recent escalation in these juvenile practices?
Welcome to the internet. 🙄
Another rule: If you are argueing about something such as "bio chemists do have access to explosives" always pretend you ARE that person. "how do I know? becuase I am a bio chemist of course.."

Sometimes it annoys me when I open a thread cause i end up cussing online. Nothing WE can do about it.
