To Prax, I believe some of the skeptical comments concerning Beezer's story were not questions trying to look into the veracity or lack thereof, but instead just shared they weren't believing the story. I *think* that may be what Stonewall was trying to point out. Instead of first trying to see if there was truth to it, it was pretty much dismissed in a post or two, though if I correctly recall, some views changed. For instance one posted: "In the words of the late and esteemed J Yohe, I remain doubtful Thomas, I have real skepticism if this story is true, sorry don't mean to ruin the pity party. I either think someone is twisting a leg, or spinning a tall tale." That was the entire post. No inquiries, just a dismissal of the story. (Sorry, keith, but yours was the first example I found.) |
I still don't see a problem with someone giving their public opinion to a public topic on a public thread. People should know better that if they did not want public scrutiny they should NOT go public at all. Anyone can say their opinion that they don't believe all the stated facts. If the person knows what they say is true then what difference does it make if someone does not believe them? My goodness...I wish I could make everyone believe every word I say. It's just not going to happen.
But personal insults are another issue. At what point do we stop saying things public and go PM anymore for fear of offending someone? You know there are some here that are offended at spiritualabuse site? My opinion? Too bad for them. Just ignore it if then don't like it, but do we hide that site because of someone elses sensibilities?
Any one comment here might offend someone and if just one person, do we now hide those comments in private? I think that's unreasonable.
The person posting their report knew this was public...they apparently have posted on other forums and so should know what to expect.
BTW true skepticism is open minded...they doubt but are open to proof.
maybe how some folks put it was tacky, but I do not agree a persons opinion because it is skeptical or doubtful of someone elses claim should be private. Remember that when people here post they are not just posting to one person but for everyone to read. If the issue is hurt feelings, as the author here suggested it seemed...then why suggest they tell that person in private too? It might still hurt their feelings
