Just a reminder to everyone to make sure you are all following the forum etiquette:

It can be important to look at both sides of an issue, but when doing so to also continue on respecting and honoring other people's understandings and points of view.
I think it's possible to do that without putting others down because they hold a different view and opinion. I've been guilty of this in the past on forums, but that's normal, that's who we are by nature, but we don't have to be as we grow and change.
Also, when responding to someone that does put you down, it's equally important to see that they are highly likely reacting because of unhealed trauma and aspects of ego that have been fed and are strong, so are easily triggered. It's therefore not about you at all, it's about them, and it helps to have compassion and also not respond in the same way, from a similar place as them. Instead of engaging, you can report a post, message a global moderator, talk to them privately, respond from the heart space and see if they then realise what they did. There's different ways to approach the situation.
And finally, I see that it's important for the forum, such as staff including me, or a greater number of members, to not shut out other possibilities by being one sided towards an issue. For example, I posted the thread about Clif High's opinion which put down Simon Parkes (wasn't Clif's best hour because of the way he did that). Clif High is one of the most accurate future forecasters out there, however, I find he doesn't rely on his intuition very often, just his intelligence, experience, knowledge, and what the webbot has showed him through it's data, which he sometimes interprets wrong, but that doesn't mean the data is wrong. There's also multiple futures, and if he does talk about data from the webbot, it may be a different timeline at times.
