We also used to, at least, have a progressive process where we agreed on facts and came to a consensus on what the facts were, even if we didn’t agree on how to interpret them. I think, in part, that’s because most of us knew what the state of the story was before we stared posting. On this particular issue, we’ve gone around in circles. One example is the ‘firearms sales to aliens’ issue which keeps coming up every couple of hours even though it was debunked before dawn on Tuesday. Maybe getting a separate “Ax” thread going would help.

There've been lots of stories that NOBODY new much if anything about, before coming to FR. The difference was, people used to actually READ the articles PRIOR to shooting their mouths off.

I have read so many error filled, ridiculous posts on the VT Massacre, that I can't post corrections to most of them. And WHY so many people keep posting error filled replies, that have been debunked by many others, I can't even begin to imagine.

Posters are STILL claiming that Cho was an illegal alien, that he bought the guns illegally, that his arm was tattooed, and all kinds of other things that were cleared up days ago.

I suspect that AX will never be solved and neither will the Ismail ( which is how FNC spells it and how it has been spelled here since Monday, and for which I keep getting soundly criticized for ) scribbled on his arm. Cho was really into cryptic, puzzle type messages which nobody on campus could decipher.
