"On this board, and on numerous sites on the Internet, there's tons of info, that, if you would have had the opportunity to access it back then when you searched for answers would have refuted every single one of their points.
With accepting *their* answers to *their* questions, you adopted their "us-vs.-them" mentality, and all info that refutes their points has become hostile to you now, as it threatens your *own* security of having all the answers now.
It's also an investment you made, and nobody wants to hear he/she's put their money on the wrong horse."
WOW, Dutchy, Did you hit it on the nose with this one! Looking back over 30 years, this is exactly how it all came about for me, too. (And then of course, the HARDEST part, admitting that I'd been "had" all along.
Very interesting post.
