(15,812 posts)It has to do with the general attitude of things out of the mainstream. I do get the feeling that this group, though tolerated barely here, isn't exactly embraced.
Plus this place (ASAH) seems to be a safe haven for all kinds of otherwise "kooky" ideas. We tend to be more accepting of fringe ideas in general, because our ideas are on the fringe. I don't really buy into a lot of stuff posted here, but learn from it anyway. I assume that a lot of people don't really get what I talk about. But we are all respectful.
One time someone knew to come here and post that they witnessed the Chicago Airport UFO incident. They didn't feel comfortable posting it anywhere else on DU. And this was at least a month before it hit the news. It was really cool!
I don't think Skinner has a nuanced view of "conspiracy theories" as we have here. In fact, we are basically ALL nuance.
I also think there may be some other agenda at play here...........with the DU3 thing. There may be strings behind the players calling the shots. Or could they be thinking about selling it????? Not sure.
