"Trusting instincts"
I do that too, and ocassionally I'm wrong and am surprised. Usually misjudging another's character.
However, I'm a bit of conspiracy theorist and often put unusual headlines up to get these guys going. I like opinions and debate, but not the name-calling. Because I'm interested in leading edge stuff, but don't have the scientific background to sniff it out, I usually am thankful when I get answers I can judge from. I don't take insults, even if a person thinks he has a good case. But as we all know, belief systems often change, right along with technology....... within the blink of an eye.
It's the old dogs who don't budge that are my targets.
I can't stand complacency.
