If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's more related to one's level of education, insofar as people who are educated expect others to be educated as well, and people who are not educated may feel threatened by people who are. So sites that attract people who are more educated will have this less, and sites that attract people who are less educated will have it more.
Thanks for that! In keeping with this thread, I just had a similar experience as the O.P. I'd had a negative experience at an optician's office, and posted about it on one of those consumer complaint forums. And the responses I got were so far from what I had been trying to say, that I was stunned! Worse, it looked like everyone had simply followed the first response, basically echoing what they had said. They had not understood me at all, and worse, were attacking me for complaining! I promptly canceled my account. Why should I post to such idiots? And from the quote above, if you want to see a large example of the writings of illiterate and uneducated people, read some of the complaints in these types of forums. It'll make you cringe, I promise.

I wish I could, but I ask myself this every day.
Why do people not ask questions? QUESTION EVERYTHING. I mean everything.
If it's something the media have told me, I never cease to ask questions. Why are they saying this? Whose agenda are they pushing? What information aren't they telling me? Is this propaganda or truth?
Every time I try to explain things to people they usually just shut me down. Not interested, scared to hear the truth, or I guess they just feel terrified because they feel so helpless to do anything about whatever it is (whether through the effort it takes to change, or just by things being apparently out of control) so would rather just deny it and ignore it.
We're trained to just go with what we're told by our nanny govts. Don't question anything. 1984.
In the meantime, those of us breaking free just go around banging our heads against walls trying to get through to the others.
Ever read 'This Perfect Day' by Ira Levin? Might be of interest, great novel!!
I think we'd get on well.

The thing that set me off looking into autism quackery was the absolute confidence of the statements made by the mercury mafia and how they got enraged and threatened people (with death in some cases) if their statements were questioned. That "how dare you question me!! !!" stuff is how I chose the name Autism Diva, it's meant to mock those who refuse to be questioned. One thing the malicia does is refuse to discuss their "science" and then they pout if you question them and say you are bad for questioning and that you must be a shill for big pharma.
The lying and smoke screen stuff also comes from people who are pretending to be victims of the "regime" and who merely think they are victims of the "regime."
The mercury malicia have spent over a million dollars maybe over two million in the last few years on PR pushing their belief system that is false and the persnal injury lawyers are at the bottom of it all. Some of the mercury moms are literally shills for personal injury lawyers while calling people like me a shill for big pharma. They are essential "astroturf" they pretend to be representing a grass roots movement but it's a few rich and well connected people using others to advance their interests. Thomas Powers one of the lawyers in the omnibus is a multi millionaire ambulance chaser. Gimme a break. The mercury malicia are not the "little guys" they make themselves out to be. Sallie Bernard is a billionaire or close to it, and her husband has his his own millions. JB Handley and his wife are pretty well off, too. Now they have Donald Trump on their side ready to wipe out the vaccine program and autism both, apparently.
See how that works? Bad guys and stupid people are everywhere, they aren't just in gov't.
The original post reminded me of this from Stephen Colbert:
Quote:
It is my privilege to celebrate this president, ‘cause we're not so different, he and I. We both get it. Guys like us, we're not some brainiacs on the nerd patrol. We're not members of the factinista. We go straight from the gut. Right, sir?
That's where the truth lies, right down here in the gut. Do you know you have more nerve endings in your gut than you have in your head? You can look it up. Now, I know some of you are going to say, "I did look it up, and that's not true." That's 'cause you looked it up in a book. Next time, look it up in your gut. I did. My gut tells me that's how our nervous system works.
Every night on my show, The Colbert Report, I speak straight from the gut, okay? I give people the truth, unfiltered by rational argument. I call it the "No Fact Zone." FOX News, I hold a copyright on that term.

I'm waiting for my chance to ask one of them - in person - why the autism rate continues to rise when the thimerosal has been so much reduced/eliminated.
Either they'll strangle me, or they'll turn a very interesting color.
