- don't refer to your idea as a "theory", especially if it alleges that the government is lying to cover something up
- don't claim to be an expert while expecting people to believe you because you're you
- don't accuse people who disagree with you of having banded together to discredit you
- don't try to match clouds
Did anything real happen today?
Update: I removed some points based on conflicting comments by ActivistGuy, mll, and second gen below. At the risk of seeing this turn into an I/P debate, comparing EXIF files' timestamps may or may not be implicating.
I also deleted #7 above, which shouldn't have been construed as something a recent diarist said. It was the position of a commenter.
