[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2957732, member: 36230"]There's absolutely nothing wrong with that, yet it does beg the question of why you cannot [I]simply[/I] apply the same to the views of others instead of searching for or suggesting ulterior motives?

The need to see a boogeyman behind every corner is literally tearing this country apart and doesn't need to be injected into a hobby that offers an escape from the incessant walking on eggshells already required to navigate everyday life.
