I agree 100%

Sex and Politics make strange bedfellows!

You can be a total imbecile and still have your voice heard. I admittedly am not the brightest bulb in the room but I at least look into my claims prior to publishing them.  

You can also research and find many of the posts at worst as totally incorrect or half truths.

Who is supplying those facts and what is their adjenda. Would you trust the WSJ? or the Washington post? Fox news or The NY post? Both seem to conflict on their so called facts?

Great point Pappy!

You bullshit too much, and people stop reading you. You mean you get to post them.  It doesn't mean anybody will look at them.

I don't see the discussion group as "publishing" and I think publishers will agree.  I see it as conversation.  I try to be correct, but do you check absolutely everything you say to anyone?  How would you ever talk then?  Or continue a conversation that you start?
