Changes to what I believe
This isn't the kind of belief that you meant Larni but it is what has changed:
I once had the idea that you could talk to individuals about the mistaken information they had about the world and how it works. I believed that they would want to learn more and understand better. I expected this would change the mind of some of them one person at a time.
I see this is, in general, not true at all.
Now I understand that the battle must be carried to those purveyors of lies at places like AIG and ICR. If any progress is to be made the battle to preserve the light against those who wish to restore the dark ages must be done at a higher level than individuals who've been brought up on lies.
Why do I still bother to post here at all? Because beliefs are very hard to give up and I still think that an occasional individual is capable of learning.

Why "brag"
But you do tend to brag a bit. Why?
Perhaps Schraf just has a healthy ego and an understanding of her strengths. I'd not call what she does bragging at all.
Why do you call it so?
