I am still writing Finishthestory and We-write and other offerings @bananafish and @freewritehouse. This is my community now. And we miss you.

As for skepticism- its healthy only if its heavy. People who actually evaluate the statements they see or read before accepting them are the ones who reach the truth or at least as close as possible. I am fine with you even though I like to think I am not corrupted- yet. But yes the barrage of opinions and proddings is numerous and continuous. I just heard this example of why it is that we need to keep at it.

If I go out in the heavy rain and happen to fall in a ditch (pothole more likely). What will I do? I know the it is raining and I know there is muck all around. I will still get up and go home and wash. This will happen every time I fall. Same with being cheated by false news.
