I believe that information from every source should be processed. If a source is of doubtful reliability, that fact is to be taken into account in deciding whether the information it provides is true. If I understand this thread correctly, the information in this case happens to be correct.
I'm unfamiliar with the site. I take it it's neo-Nazi. I'm not in the habit of visiting such sites. However, even less am I in the habit of censoring information.
Did you or did you not ask for the poster's source in this case?

The poster had more information than in the story. I expected the poster to know the rules of Free Republic and not post a link to a neo-Nazi site. You do agree that posting a link to a neo-Nazi site is verboten under Jim Robinson's rules, don't you?

I'm sorry. I forgot to add that the link to the neo-Nazi site was posted without a warning. It could've been prefaced with, "this is a neo-Nazi board I read. I got the information from there." It wasn't. It was just posted as a link. I expected it to be a newspaper. It surely wasn't.
If you'd like, I can send you a freepmail with the post.
