In reply to the discussion: Something that I don't understand about so many posts on DU over the last 8 (or more?) years [View all]B.See
(3,711 posts)much of what has been warned of hasn't been exaggerated at all.
If there has been increasing hyperbole over the last eight years it's because there has been much to be hyperbolic ABOUT over those eight years - as we are now only just beginning to realize.
(Whoops...I used caps.)
Regarding my use of caps and bolded text, as I explained before, I use them for emphasis. Like an accent mark on the second syllable instead of the first. It's not intended to be 'yelling.'
However if people choose to ignore information and warnings because of a font, the presentation, or because the warnings are repeated too often (and for... darn... good reason, imo) then that's on them.
And perhaps that too explains how we've come to be where we are now.
Bottom line, we all have the option to read what we will and ignore what we want.
Free country (or so they say).
