Bwah, donāt blame yourself for this. I am perfectly capable of getting into this sort of trouble on my own.
My reading of this thread was that it was going to be a more wider view of Syrian situation than the one I started, which simply asked if the Russians were going to make the decisive difference in the war. The complexity of the issue, and the sheer number of countries involved, was always going to throw different angles into such a broad discussion.
Since starting this place, my personal policy concerning the big challenges to the official narrative largely involve waiting for something Iād read about earlier turning up in a respected publication. I still maintain an interest in accounts that challenge the official narrative, but I tend to wait for the chickens to come home to roost before crowing about anything.
Thatās a less brave position than Iād like, but to be honest, it saves a load of hassle and the continuing effluence of dodgy shit hitting respected news sources means that we get to discuss the issue, not ten pages of discussion on whether itās an issue or not. And I look less of a twat for breaking nonsense that never happens, so thereās that.
Iāve certainly shared unverified personal accounts here though, and on related subjects too. FWIW, I thought your posts were clearly signposted, complete with an invitation to disbelieve the fuck out of it if you liked. I never gave people that option when I retold the āclear the roomā story, so I reckon you were pretty fair.
