Ugh this guy has developed a very selective reading of the thread in question and refusing to accept things told to him by the people actually involved because they couldn't "prove" what they were saying. At this point for this version of what happened to be true it would require active conspiracy on the part of all involved to keep it going. Knowing when to admit you were wrong and let go is truly a blessing.
- peterwwillis 16y agoThe line between active conspiracy and everyone just going along with something because they're easily lead or prefer to believe something a certain way is probably thinner than you imagine. Is The Bible a conspiracy? Is everyone in Christianity secretly in on it? Or are they just going along with it because they like the idea? I don't know about you, but I go for the free cookies & coffee after the service.
- callahad 16y agoThe situation, as presented, was sufficiently dubious as to warrant the attention of both the NYPD and the State Department. I'm willing to trust their judgment.
- Vivtek 16y agoExactly. I'm happy he went to the club, because I think real-world triangulation makes this a better story. But I get the impression he expected to see women in chains right in front of him there, and when he didn't, he said, "Ha, those silly MeFites!" The fact that he really wanted to feel like it was all blown out of proportion surely had nothing to do with his rational take on it. I am rolling my eyes.
