I engage and challenge a lot of people that have divergent or opposite views from my own.
I always say that in any disagreement, there are three points of view: MY point of view, YOUR point of view … and then the REAL facts. And, that’s my enduring problem with all “blogs” on the internet (I’m not picking on Hairtell).
Wow, just try finding the answer to a simple question on the internet! I was looking up “legality of selling used mattresses” and was (mis)directed to numerous sites and blogs wherein people were simply stating their opinion, misstating laws, making up facts or being silly.
Most outrageous is when a site appears legitimate, but is downright fake. I recently went through this “Irish Slavery” issue with a friend. Not mentioned on this site, by an alleged historian (he’s not), is that the author of the “book” is a White Supremacist and Anti-Semite (“holocaust Denier”), but his “work” is now universally “forwarded” as being historical fact. It’s not! It’s made up! The author states (not in the email-forwarded excerpt) that “the Jews were responsible for slavery.” Lovely!
I’m not saying that I have all the answers to questions about electrolysis. I DO NOT! I am saying that a simple question, asked by unsuspecting client, can unleash a plethora of opinion, counter-opinion and often confusion. It’s no easy matter when the experts disagree too!
Eventually facts emerges … but it’s the “eventually” part that’s daunting … no, actually deplorable. What’s the answer? Just keep looking?
