Well, FR may not be a court of law, but I’m not in the habit of rendering judgment without at least a fig leave of factual basis for doing so, and you have not provided even so much as that, IMHO.

For example, you want me, by default, to reject the credibility of anyone who has not given me a reason to trust them. If that is your premise, why should I trust you? I know far less about you than I do about Farah, correct? And very often I have seen Farah put forward articles that are corroborated by other fact sources and are completely in harmony with my own interpretation of those facts. Whereas you have “Con-Man” built into your name. What am I to make of that fact?

Yet I am willing to extend to you a basic level of trust, until you prove otherwise, as I hope you do me. I don’t know how these anonymous conversation boards could work any other way. So that’s my position on Farah. I’m treating him like I would treat you, and like I would want you to treat me. I have considerable exposure to his views and his treatment of facts and simply don’t see a pattern of deception or venal motives. If they are there, I am willing to see them. Show me. No one is Jesus to me but Jesus. But if you want me to share in your distrust of Farah, simply on your say so, why should I do that, when I know so little about you and so much more about him?

Let me help you work through some of your confusion...

(WOW!!!...I know your head is probably spinning right now...take a minute before proceeding.)

I’m not in the habit of rendering judgment...

You cannot imagine, in your overblown sense of self-importance delusion, how little I care about your judgment of my opinion.

If you want to believe that what Farah has to offer somehow qualifies as journalism...have fun with it. I have done my own research and I've made it clear that I will not give him more web-hits to provide you with all the links and articles that prove he is much more interested in website visits than accuracy in reporting.

It really is a simple formula. The more outrageous the claim, the more hits WND gets. That is what Farah is all about. He doesn't care if he is right or wrong, or if you agree or disagree, as long as you hit the WND link.

So...for the third time, that is my opinion. Do you get it now?
