I agree. What the poster pointed to him was not the gospel truth. But then agian, neither is some of the info from those who support reinserting the feeding tube.

There are elements of truth, lies, and unclear, evidence, on any side of any debate. Some issues are clear cut (eg "Are American troops baby murdering thugs?" Answer: NO) while others are murky ("Is the WoD justified/good for America?" Ans: Umm... I'll get back to you on that... eventually...)

To me this issue is pretty clear but there is certainly room for debate. Where you choose to stand on any debate is based on what you believe.

Unless it's absolutely irrefutable truth that JR ignored, I wouldn't lose sleep or ditch FR over it.

Yep. And belief has a couple of dimensions. Moral principles, and evidence. Most of the content of FR is lean on the "evidence" side; the "noise" part of signal to noise. But the signal part here is 100 times better than the signal anywhere else.

Honest debate is hard to come by, even on FR. But again, the honest debate here is better than anywhere else that I have ever seen.
