In some ways, being a skeptic is annoying.
I used to pass over shit like this without even thinking about it:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=102&topic_id=3173932&mesg_id=3174018

Now it drives me completely bonkers. And it's everywhere!

Sometimes I wish I could go back to the days when I just assumed that this crap was true.

1. I know. I feel the same way
Its creeping everywhere, even into my work environment!!. This is the only forum on DU where its not common. I even got into a flame fest with an anti-vaxx idiot in the Atheists group once.
BTW, thanks for the heads up on that idiot in the Lounge.:thumbsup:

2. I just got nailed by some other bizarro in the Health Asylum
who was completely incapable of understanding my post given her misspelled, ungrammatical and spluttering post.

I won't dignify it with a reply, of course. I think she's telling people who she is just fine and doesn't need my help.

3. Half of her posts have been deleted.
She won't be around long.

4. I think it was our friend re registered
That's just a suspicion based on the only posts that person had were in two of his threads when I checked last night.

5. Ignorance is bliss right?
It's easier to believe that than think about complex social problems, mental illness, etc.
