Thanks! I wanted something that artfully but accurately
expressed the denial & detachment from reality that so
many folks actually live their lives by.

Although I am an occasional daydream believer, I am fully
cognizant that I'm indulging in pure fantasy. I just
cannot grasp how some folks can cling so firmly to an
alternate reality 24/7. Worse still, are those who
continue to publicly express their versions of reality
with absolute conviction long after it has been clearly
discredited.

My original concept was to document instances of the more
egregious examples of detachment from reality made by
folks here on SI. I still do from time to time, but it
began to make sense to also document reality based
information that stood in stark contrast to those
who "continue to continue to pretend".

So please feel free to continue posting examples like you
did earlier. They are a welcome addition to this thread.
