    It's a damn shame the overall continued erosion of insightful discourse on this forum, just this thread alone gives me the feeling of being on some CNN panel. Hell I can be part of that by just watching CNN or others LOL.

    To boot there's the sister trends of small talk, and beginner type conversations. If this dwindling number of posting members and the silly talk would have been what I was looking at almost 2 years ago now thinking about wanting back in, the interest simply wouldn't have been there in the first place to even bother.

    Not trying to stir things up, this is just a status report on what surely I am not the only one noticing.

    hey Fred,

    I'm feeling you. I think my negative attitude towards 'conspiracies' in general is kind of a debby downer for most typical forum dwellers. My only real interest in this realm of things is psychic phenomena and UFO's. And devil spawn like Wayne LaPierre ... . If I could find a forum ...no, not really...I like arguing so the distillate is closer to truth. Truth has to be real not a machination of Machiavellian matriculated semi-sentient Milieus.

    I like to look at things from different angles, everything else is just lazy thinking to me. You can see another narrative on Avalon.

    I was going to shut about this before, but then I got tempted to post more. I suppose I'm a bit guilty too of getting somewhat emotional (not that it would ever override my logical thinking) when I see people getting killed for no good reason. When you don't see me posting anymore, I probably will have grown too tired and cynical to comment on these kind of subjects.

    Incidentally, I dropped by the Avalon forum yesterday to read what the sickos had to say about the latest mass shooting. Whew, those people are dangerous...Their connection to reality is very very tenuous. If they're just playing mind games with each other, maybe I am a beginner to this media and need to learn to abandon any principle I hold in favor of a cheap thrill. I did leave a short comment...I'm curious what effect it had, if any...I might check later...

    Hi Nothing,

    When you put it that way...probably neither. But I could proffer a guess as to who has more to worry about...

    Insightful discourse? Beyond Plato's cave, what insight can you share with us on this, Fred? It's more of the same old parade, right? That's what you keep saying.

    The alternative media is playing out a narrative that is as predictable as the mainstream. False flag, crisis actors, they're after our guns again... It's very predictable.

    There's BS coming out of the mainstream, BS coming out of the alternative, where are the insights, Fred? You've been around a while, what sources do you have? Where do you get your information?

    Well, as the person who is typically acused of driving the clown car here at TOT, I kinda feel your pain. In reading some of the very smart older posts at Avalon and here, I’d certainly love to see more of that here at TOT.

    Frankly, I usually just write jokey stuff to continue the dialog. I’m not a brainiac like a number of folks here or at Avalon. In my beliefs, I strive for simplicity and elegance. Unfortunately, for you and everyone else, I’m not very good at expressing such.
