Can we tone down the rumor posts?

Posted on 03/20/2003 8:26:49 AM PST by Lunatic Fringe

I know some of us would love to the first to post the "Saddam is Dead" thread or the "MOAB Dropped on Palace" thread, but can we please refrain from posting rumors until you have a LINK.

Thanks.

Hmmm... I don't know if what you say is true, or if it's just a rumour... ;0)

Last night the guy reading for MSNBC said they were all just repeating what they heard, and couldn't confirm any of it as true. If you hear official notification of something it probably happened eight hours ago.

Is it just me, or has FR started its own version of "Fox News Alert" with all the new "LIVE THREAD" posts?

If we stop posting rumors then we might as well stop posting everything. Nobody knows anything about anything at this time. All we know right now is what is being circulated as either rumors and propoganda.

The DEBKA posts need to come to a halt as well.

Half the fun is rumor posts.

'..wars and rumors of wars..."

The rumors can be destructive, also.

I heard via Freepmail that Jim Robinson actually wants rumor posts, but I'm trying to confirm now. Will advise when I know more...

I was thinking the same thing, it's enough to keep up on the real news without all the speculation...

LOL - I used to really hate it when people referred to the City as 'Frisco'. But lately, with all the antics going on up there, I think I'll start calling it that, too. Just to pi$$ them off. 'Friscans' hate that.

Cheers, CC :)

Rumor has it that Saddam Hussein is either dead or alive right now.
