unfortunately, this is not the case here. if anyone even mentions a 'conspiracy theory' here, be it what they believe or not, they will get called a fool by a certain number of posters here who jump straight on them. not many, admittedly, but there are 3 or 4 who will immediate try to ridicule openly without debate and not even giving the time to actually read into things looking at both sides of the story.

it's sad but true. some people will only accept what they believe. anyone who thinks different is just plain wrong.

Chaos23 does post a lot of conspiracy stuff here. some of it is rubbish, some of it can be very plausible. sometimes his presentation and arguements of the theories leaves room for improvement, but that by no means should mean that the point he is making should be dismissed outright all the time. unfortunately, there are a few here who have branded him a fool and have tried their best to make others think the same of him (imo). he has a constant battle, but continues to to post what he believes to be true, and I salute him for that at least. it's just a shame that some people appear so insecure and threatened by what he posts that they feel the need to belittle him and his posts at every opportunity. if what he says is such rubbish, why respond?

personally, in regards to this pandemic, i think it is quite plausible that one of several scenarios could be at play;

1) this is a natural virus spreading in a natural way, evolving naturally
2) this is a natural virus that has been harvested and released onto the public for whatever reason
3) this is a lab born virus released onto the public for whatever reason
4) this is a lab born virus that has leaked onto the public by accident

regardless of any reasoning behind it, any of those are possible. this means we cannot discount any of those scenarios outrightly based purely on what we think we know or what we believe to be true. the media is hardly likely to tell us if 2, 3 or 4 where true. I doubt very much they would know themselves if they were true. we are therefore led to believe 1 is the truth, but that doesn't mean it is.

therefore, to those of you who openly put down and cast judgement on Chaos23 - you do so unfairly based soley on you opinion of events. just because what he believes is not necessarily what you believe, it does not make him wrong nor a fool. why can some of you not just listen to what he has to say and either walk away or say your peice without having to continually ridicule him openly? does it make you feel better about yourselves? do you have some superiority complex you need to quench? or is he just an easy target you can all poke your sticks at?

if what he says upsets, scares or enrages you, at least reply in a respectful manner. it's like you are trying to make him bite, then beat him with a stick when he does. the guy is in a totally no-win situation here because of a few people with deep down psychological issues. maybe some of you need to take a good look at yourselves before you start mocking others. grow up a little. you're meant to be adults.
