That may well be true....be when long time FReepers publicly attest to another long-time Freeper's known veracity to speaking truthfully....well, it's one thing to say they'll wait and see....it's quite another to repudiate their post, and every other person who speaks to the veracity of the original poster.
Well said.
I understand what you are saying, nicmario.
I am trying to stick within the confines of the original story:
An eyewitness account of Gulfport and other communities posted by a good longtime FReeper AND from a good source,
then the attacks on the messenger,
then our eventual internecine posts,
and then assuming that the current NOLA mayor account is proof of the original source.
It is not. And never can be.
