One issue was saying he put this in breaking news when he didn't.

True. My mistake. It was posted in Extended News. BUT--it was posted as News that the threat level was elevated to Red. That's not honest.

The other issue is whether info. from AP & WorldNet renders a news piece a matter of extended news. It just might.

I don't think so. I think the whole thing is rendered as a scare tactic, and I think the moderators were wise to deal with it as they did. I can't believe this was posted as news at all, but the moderators have no initial control over that.

The other is that you don't understand the religious forum. It's primarily theological and this piece isn't. It's about an alert level and some want to pray about it.

I want to pray about a lot of things, one of which is ignorance and the over-reaction which stems from that. What happened here was wrong, and the mods caught it. They not only relegated it to the religion forum but ultimately relegated it to chat. Deal with it.

SCARE TACTIC?

HOGWASH.

I shared it as information. Given my knowledge of Francis, I have every reason to believe the information.

It is at least as valid as a LOT of other "NEWSWORTHY" information on the subject posted every day hereon. There is no valid, rational reason to categorize it otherwise.

You may have a LONG LIST OF BIAS 'REASONS' to do so--but that's another issue.

They not only relegated it to the religion forum but ultimately relegated it to chat.

Which means that they, too, realized it isn't the type of article that goes to the religion forum.

All that said, I don't care anymore. I'm done with it.

Honestly, have a nice day.
