I said "I can guarantee with absolute certainty the Illuminati has no say whatsoever in what I research, how I write my results, or if it gets published."
Those were my exact words. Verbatim. Quoted.
How did you make a leap of logic think that talking about what affects me extends to thinking that it doesn't happen to anybody else? Do you know what I research? Do you know if anybody outside the 9 or 10 people in the world who research what I do would be interested? You assume a lot. Scientific research is very broad, and while I don't deny the possibility exists that external forces might want to silence research about certain topics, I have a very tough time imagining my dissertation that challenges 40 years of research paradigm about safety climate research is on the radar of the NWO or the Illuminati. Maybe having a proper perspective is what's needed.
I forgive you though. I can see where you went wrong. There's no need to get your dander up, but I understand the male ego because I am plagued with that affliction as well, so here we are, quoting back and forth, trying to see who pees furthest off the porch. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Shame on us.
Because I'm feeling especially generous this evening, I'll clue you into something about me. I say exactly what I mean to say. There is no need to try and read things into what I write. If something is unclear to you, you'd do well to ask me instead of trying to out-think me or out-navigate me verbally. If I can clarify something and choose to, I will.
