[concerned about politics]

Not to be picky, but the disclaimer you post does say that opinions posted here are the opinion of the poster and not FR

Yes. FR isn't writing the opinions. Posters are writing their opinions. Just like it says. All opinions. Read it.

Okay. Let me go a little slower.

All opinions posted here are the opinion of the poster.

Does this mean (a) IF something is an opinion , it is the opinion of the poster, not FR - OR (b) EVERYTHING posted on FR, whether it is a statement of fact, a chart, a picture, or an opinion, is MAGICALLY transformed into an opinion by virtue of a statement on the home page?

You don't have to answer. The answer is obvious.

What the disclaimer does not say is that every single post is an opinion. In other words, some posts may be opinions, while others may constitute assertions of fact.
