Facts and evidence

One room supposedly about creationism and evolution in Skypeland devolved into nonsense. I sat in there waiting for more people to show up.
Then a person came in ranting and raving. He claimed that everyone in the cast was a KGB spy. He accused one of the radio broadcasters in the room of being from the KGB. When asked for facts and evidence, he said he did not need them.

He said his microphone wouldn't work for 2 days after he had been talking to some religious guys in a cast, implying that the religious people he was speaking with had caused this microphone malfunction. He talked about how unfair it was that Arlo Guthrie sang songs about people and made money from the songs, but the people who were the subject of the songs did not make any money. He said it was also unfair that the media would write stories about people and the subject of the stories did not get paid for this. He said the media in the US was like the KGB. He said the US was a snitch culture. Finally I could not take it any longer...so I left.
