I wasn't talking about you, O. I was refering to the Rivero-bashers.
If Rivero could post here, I have no doubt that he would answer their lame charges and, in the process, eat their lunch. But since he can't, these cowards are apparently emboldened to slander and defame him with impunity. It's a sorry display.
Until Rivero is permitted to return here to defend himself against them, his critics ought to desist from gratuitous, utterly self-serving, and quite unseemly one-sided gang-bashing of one who, as far as I can tell, has done nothing at all to deserve such ill-treatment and, in fact, has done much over the course of his FReeping to earn the admiration and respect of many FReepers, including yours truly.
I enjoyed reading Rivero. I didn't have to buy the tabloids. You are wrong that he answered serious questions. On the few times that I actually knew something about one of his conspiracy theories and gave him some direction he went silent as a corpse.
Quit whining and tell me what you think about Herr Buchanan's latest the sky is falling belch.
Rivero in a debate at FR is a character straight out of a Warner Brothers cartoon. About to be smashed by an eighteen-wheeler filled with heavy, cold facts he pulls a magic crayon out of his pocket, draws a round, black hole on the ground and drops into it to allow the eighteen-wheeler to pass harmlessly overhead.
Rivero doesn't "eat" anyone's lunch. It's an illusion he creates for the benefit of the shallow-thinkers here--such as yourself. When confronted with indisputable evidence of his stupidity and sloth as a "researcher," Rivero simply invents new "facts" with such rapidity and volume that no one can keep up with him.
Rivero is an especially energetic squid, fouling the water with black ink. He is amusing to watch for awhile, but the show soon gets old.
