wannabeoutlaw,
admitting mistakes/oversites and apologising is such a rare thing that it deserves to be given credit where it is due.

Alright, I apologize if my previous post was in bad taste, it has nothing to do with what the thread was about, it was a result of my mood at the time when reading a certain comment, I too appreciate that Lady Lee reopened the thread and I too appreciate her moderation of this forum, I just thought yourmomma's comment was a little ... well, my previous post tells how I felt at the time.
No hijack intended, it's not my M.O.
Thank you and have a nice day.

This thread has been an excellent discussion for the most part. It's unrealistic to expect the OP to be treated in isolation given recent discussions.
What we need with information like this is balance. There is nothing wrong with commenting on the speculative, even sensationalist nature of some material. When it cannot be verified either way, then that should be reflected in the comments . . . ie; there is no room for dogma, nor equally unverifiable or sensational speculation.
Freedom of speech means everybody gets to have and give an opinion . . . but irresponsible and wild claims in spite of evidence to the contrary are begging for an arse-kicking IMO. Usually, I'm happy to oblige. It achieves nothing and makes the critics motives questionable IMO, and much less virtuous than the material being commented on.
Some information is verifiable, but is subject to intense disparagement by some who refuse point blank to access the verification. This makes no sense to me and is unneccesarily damaging to a cause, and in some cases libelous to the source.That's all I have to say about that.

Thank you Cedars & Barbara for providing this interesting correspondance for our information.It doesn`t mean we have to take sides one way or the other whether we beleive or disbeleive the content part that is controversial.It`s just provided for our information.Maybe something will come out to verify or repudiate what was inferred,then again maybe not.And I appreciate the balance that has been offered by various posters to this thread.
