I have dabbled in the general public's haunts, the places where most people hang out, and they couldn't be more different in terms of opinions and ideas than a place like GLP. if you're on GLP long enough, you start to think that many people are like GLPers in belief and opinion. but that's just not true at all. and when you're here for a very long time, you develop a distorted perception of general consensus opinion, I have myself in the past. part of the reason I go down weird research holes more specific to popular opinions "Do I contradict myself?

I'm not taking credit for that one. I don't consider myself an agitator or aggrevator of that, and it didn't take place on my server either. "Do I contradict myself? Very well.
