[Heretic]

I’ll be honest and blunt and pardon me if I seem negative, I mean this in the best regards and point no fingers at anyone.

I was disappointed in how Avalon took off. All I saw was the same old posts found on just about every conspiracy forum across the net, even in the same format. I looked like 1500 people who used to live on ATS changed addresses to Avalon and proceeded to treat Avalon like it was theirs. Massive posting too numerous to keep up with, most of it regurgitated rhetoric of the samo samo found everywhere else, and served with a side helping of moral competition, and belittlement, while calling it debate.

FINALLY we got witnesses to come aboard yet these guys were assaulted by doubt and near ridicule. I saw a lot of skeptics come here and started all kinds of disrespectful crap that painted this new creation the same color as ATS where the most of the respect is owned by those who know how to be the biggest ******* while JUST skirting under the rules like some demented sport.

If I wanted a place to define myself in the eyes of voyeuristic pixelated people I could have gone no farther than all the other places on the net that all look the same, talking about the same news bytes, pointing out all the same articles everyone has probably already read because we too troll the news daily without needing people rushing to be the first to post just about any conspiracy related news. Glory related mental masturbation IMHO. This place was supposed to be different, yet I feel that there was a rush of folks who wanted to make a cookie cutter site just like the Jones’s rife with the same discord found just about everywhere else.

Not all came here for the reasons it was created, many saw it as a new virtual battleground where the grass is greener, unconquered and the people although positive, are ripe to those who are like literary predators seeking to spread their dissent against the potentiality of this site and its purpose for the sake of "debate". What do we need to debate anyway, are we not all here because essentially we all already agree on the nature of things?

I am happy for the change. We already have TONS of places to go and read up on this stuff and debate it with anonymous people, half of whom we despise because they are not on the same page as we are, and laugh at what we consider sacred. I did not want this to be a place of heated debate where there are winners and losers because the internet is FULL of these places, why one more?

I am happy for the changes, it is why I came here in the fist place….in fact I am ecstatic. I'm sorry for the rant, I rarely do it, but I felt this needed to be said. Maybe I am just in a sour mood.

My two cents.
