Simply because there <i>is</i> no stage, no dialog, no dialectic and therefore no critique and falsification of any data. There's no process at all. It's indeed as Chris wrote: recreational paranoia. But it's acted <i>like</i> it's something else, more serious, more heavy, more meaningful. Constant hinting at what it's <i>not</i>: inquiry, research and investigation. And it never was that since the 90's, the age of late night radio! It was fun and imaginative at times, inspiring for some even (I can only hope) to actually start looking into something <i>seriously</i> and not as recreation or because it reads like a SciFi thriller.Deenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051630750074978974.post-18556604768837585792013-12-04T12:32:23.333-08:002013-12-04T12:32:23.333-08:00At one time or another Hoagland has declared his c...At one time or another Hoagland has declared his critics paid disinformation agents, chatbots, and psychologically impaired individuals. He has used the existence of said critics as proof he's right, as a vast conspiracy was paying attention to him. In other words, Hoagland has invented the concept of recreational paranoia.<br /><br />As to expat's "obsession", I see evidence of precisely the opposite. For example, he does not seem the least bit interested in Hoagie's latest rants on C2C. Instead, he was quite content to continue his turkey day ingestion rather than deal with another silly magic numbers lecture from the Hoagster. I have to agree with the assessment that it isn't worth the time or trouble.<br /><br />Look, we all enjoy this blog because of the silliness it exposes. But we all also have lives that have nothing to do with either Hoagland or Bara. These guys really have to get over themselves. Nothing they are doing is of the least bit importance to anyone outside of their little fan group. No conspiracy exists to silence them. They are just (from time to time) being called out on some of their more obvious errors, which is something they don't seem to appreciate.Chris Lopeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15603182786879935663noreply@blogger.com
