Supposedly, elephants trekked to a house to mourn a human

25. No, I'm not complaining at all.

Anyone can post in this group, as they can anywhere on DU. When you post in a group, you will get responses based on that group's interests. Nobody wants this to be a closed group, and I didn't think anyone came looking for me at all. Actually, I saw your post here, which induced me to reply. Your post was a reply to the OP of this thread.

Nobody sought me out at all. I was looking at threads in this group, which is something I do daily. When I find something of interest, I post replies in the thread, just as you did, when you read this particular thread. In your reply, you made certain accusations regarding the OP. I responded to those accusations by telling you the nature of this group and its focus.

The nature of this group is to debunk woo and unscientific ideas that have no basis in fact. In this case it was a questionable story about some elephants that supposedly flocked to a place where a person who worked with elephants had died. The source of that story was beliefnet. That website often gets attention here, because it often posts uncorroborated stories that are based on questionable information. In very many ways, beliefnet is a prime vendor of woo, from astrology to other things that have no scientific basis. It's Woo Central.

That's the nature of this group. It is what the group is for. Now that you know that, you can choose to visit threads here you see on the Latest Page or skip them.

Posters here mock ideas that are nonfactual and unsupported.
