63. To anyone who liked this story, you're being made fun of in a thread dedicated to making fun of you

Apparently, if you're a skeptic, you not only get to be skeptical, but you also get to make fun of the people who liked the story, people who were touched by the story.

For the record, I don't know if I believe it or not, but I don't like having a DU forum specifically designed to permit its denizens to make fun of what others believe.

Nonetheless, there are two posters who have participated in this thread who are actively making fun of you in another thread, in the skeptics group. They say this group has special privileges to make fun of anyone who doesn't share their belief system, and based on my rejected alert, they may be right. Anyway, I wanted you to be aware that some very base people are keeping their nose clean in this thread while making fun of you in the clubhouse they made for making fun of people.

thank you.
