They cannot provide any evidence where none exist...so they choose to post insulting comments and meme’sNo negativity....just asking those who post fiction to provide evidence that it is not....
Do you consider negativity when information is questioned or misinformation is corrected?I'm confident that this is not the only place they share their negativity
Yea, that was what I was going for.....alan_m.....I “liked” your post......all in our tradition of patting each other on the back....

I have no issues looking at posts concerning legends such as oak island with the understanding that most legends are fiction, but when folks post what they state is fact, then they should expect to be questioned about their facts and provide factual evidence.
I agree that personal attacks are not acceptable.
It was all just made up BS that relied on followers blindly accepting what was being said was true?I noticed there has been a lot of discussion here about the research of Diana Muir, and her alleged discovery of journals belonging to Henry Sinclair and the Weems family. Diana has a documented history of fraud, dating back to 1983 when she was investigated by the FBI for trying to sell historical Mormon letters to Brigham Young University. I have done a thorough investigation of her claims about the Sinclair/Weems journals in my blog post here:

That's the thing, a lot of these old stories relied on not having access to records to see it is all BS or what really happened. Ya gotta love the internet.......IMO, as Shakespeare once wrote: 'Much Ago About Nothing'.
But the ratings and the advertising dollars keep coming so the show goes on.

You couldn't pay me to watch this piece of trash. They found the tresure its you people watching it giving ratings and sponsorship.I was watching this week's episode where they extend the line through Nolan's cross to France and show that it runs straight through the center of the main palace of Versailles spot on.
It seemed to me that even the slightest wiggle in the line on Oak Island would translate into a big difference in France 3000 miles away.
So I did some math to see how accurately they could be drawing this line.
The boulders are quite large, and 860 feet apart.
Boulders are irregularly shaped, so you can't quite draw a straight line connecting the boulders with too much precision. If ten different people did it, the ten lines would vary from each other at least slightly.
If the point on the boulder that they draw the line through varies by even one inch, that translates into a difference of almost 1/3 of a mile by the time you get to France.
So to say that line exactly crosses anything specific 3000 miles away is ridiculous.
The way they achieved it was move the line to go through Versailles and it would barely move its location on Oak Island.
So they could basically say it went through anything they want within a wide swath of Europe.
To see the Lagina brothers eat this argument up hook, line and sinker shows they're either in on this math hoax, for the sake of ratings, or they're idiots themselves. The latter may be the case, I've seen it over and over how they get completely emamored by obviously dopey arguments that they should see through immediately if they were a little smarter. Part of the problem is their excessive faith in so-called experts. There are plenty of complete idiots walking around even with PhD's.
But I have to wonder if they know all too well and it's all just a big charade. They are now getting rich off this t.v. show itself so it may be the design to drag it on for as many years as possible. If they did find treasure, which I doubt they ever will, they may not even want to tell us for 5 or 10 more years, just to keep the gravy train rolling. The truth will come out, eventually.
