@jcurve

I would keep posting about whatever topics you and others want to discuss.

Thankfully, I no longer see the posts of one or two of the 'apologists-in-chief'. Still, I would imagine their rebuttals to be some meandering complaint about the direction of the discussion and the motive(s) of the poster(s) (particularly non-holders) while, in likelihood, offering little or no substantive alternatives to the ideas and arguments put forward. I had enough of debating with some of them ... in my opinion they are captivated by confirmation bias.

I think that posts that seek to stifle debate while offering no alternative (squabbling about the bona fides of posters is not an alternative point of view) should be closely scrutinised.

Indeed, all posts ought to be closely scrutinised and rebutted with only facts. I have said it before - posters are free to pull my posts apart word by word - In fact, I encourage it but do it wth the facts please!

Mining ... good heavens ... holders must be wincing at the thought.
