Since editorial comment is allowed here on FR I see no reason why either you, I, or others are not allowed to make informed comments. Knowing your past I value your judgments.
I have over 30 years of journalism experience both in print and on the air and was asked for editorial opinion by some rather large papers before I stopped writing. So I don't hesitate to given what I consider an informed opinion from time to time as well.
Which is precisely the point that dirtboy and I were making all along. Just got back on and I am hearing from Fox (via my XM radio) that more details are coming out.
I realize that guesses and speculation are what we often do especially when a story is breaking. It's fun and interesting. Sometimes, some of it is even accurate. And, as far as I am concerned it's OK if it gets a little hot.
But, I do hope we can keep some perspective - accusing eleven year vets of being DU trolls is too ludicrous for words. Not saying you guys did that - it was a noob, whose name I do not even care to look for.
Now to get caught up on this great story.
