Thanks, Carp; much appreciated. You may recall the time JR himself intervened on one of these threads. The insults were flying a bit too furiously, & a mod deleted certain posts on the basis of a ‘flamewar’. JR’s advice was to simply ignore those whose only MO is to goad others.
I took it to heart, even though I wasn’t engaged in the flamewar. One of the posters you addressed is so consistently nasty that I simply ignore every single post he makes. Works like a charm.
I appreciate your kind words nonetheless. Your indefatigable quest for ‘just the facts’ drives them bonkers. Notice how your question a while back, as to how Mal-Val’s kid showed up in Kenya to pose w the other child, played havoc w their theory? Now they posit the absurd claim that the photo was snapped in Boston. No evidence; just rank revisionism. I still recall the over-the-top drama-queen-style abuse you took merely for asking such an honest, obvious question. [To which you never received an answer.] At least you can rest assured that underneath the gratuitous insults your inquiry hit home.
IIRC, that was actually the ValMal thread, and the entire thread got pulled (temporarily, and then reinstated). Reason: Flamewar.
