I thought the purpose of FR was to post articles and discuss them.
It seems that NOW, if anyone posts an article that that is negative about Bush, instead of debating the article, and criticizing the author, many posters want to SHOOT THE MESSENGER.
Your remark (kind of bold) was not an attack. I understand what you were saying, and maybe the poster you were addressing did as well.
But it reminded me of a pattern I have noticed, and your comment gave me an opportunity to voice my opinion.
“SHOOT THE MESSENGER”
Suspicions are raised when the poster makes no comment on the article that he/she/it has posted. Especially very new posters. Other possibility is a retread who has been caught.
(or even the mods jump too quick)
Looks like the account is not zotted yet.

Normally, the author's name is the part I have in red in the above text, so I figured he was the author of this article.
