I'll leave the arguments about insults to Israel and the US State Dept to others. That being said, a cardinal (if unwritten) rule of FR has been broken on this thread:

If you're going to accuse someone of FRaud, especially who and where they are in a live thread, you DAMN well better have solid, irrefutable proof. Yes, FR has had several in its past, but IMHO the burden of proof is on the accuser, lest we all start doubting every thing ANY of us says.

Do I have suspicions? I'm not gonna say, because even if I did, I have no proof. And you can't un-ring the bell once it's been rung.

THAT is where I draw the line. To make such an accusation without irrefutable proof is borderline abuse.

I have no doubt ry2 will take names when this is all over. Or, if he is a fraud, that will come out, and we'll speak about it when we KNOW for a fact.

Sorry, Jezebel, I meant to ping the OTHER Jezebelle.

Exactly so. There have been many, many misrepresentations made about Rebel's posts over the last few days and if posters can't make a point without lying, they must not have much of a point to begin with.

Most of these freepers are troublemakers on other threads and just love pulling their little holier than thou acts.

With that said, I have to run and will hope to hear in the coming days that Rebel is successfully taken out of a war zone.

Thank you. That is very well-written. I'm absolutely appalled that someone would publicly accuse someone of whom they know nothing that they are a fraud. We need to encourage RY2 home. If anyone has something to say to him, then they can do it then. And privately. What I have read on this thread is inexcusable and an embarassment to FR.
