Public service announcement: When people's internal worldview, politics, cherished beliefs, etc., are challenged, emotions and illogical thinking intrudes on discussions. This affects their brains and how they process information. They enter into tribal good vs. evil thinking, and any information that could harm their worldview is immediately disregarded, and anyone who dares challenge their beliefs is ridiculed.

See the kingship thread for examples of how desperate some will be to try and counter the obvious. Also, see this thread as it develops to see if the evidence is actually discussed and if the statements made are refuted. Notice also that if the claims made about me are true, they are also about the historians and professors whose work I utilized.

Or could it be that some people's intern balance is put off by anything outside of their comfort zone? Confirmation bias is after all our most common logical sin, You decide!

Gotta go with Barsoom.
