Captain Blondebeard, nobody in that thread attacked you for having a differing view. No one yelped at you because "negative thoughts like yours are ruining the perception of the industry". Whether you are lying to gain sympathy or you actually believe it yourself I don't know, but you are pulling those things out of thin air (
the thread in question is there to see for everybody). Which is ironically what people criticised you for back then to begin with. After which, rather than admitting your mistake you decided to defend your ignorance on the grounds that you were too busy with your job and family to actually check the facts before debating them - and to be flat-out rude towards one of the posters at that.
Drop this subject.
