EVERLONG
For once I am in complete agreement with EVerlong. Sorry SanANtonioRogue Everlong is spot on and Christine is trying to defend the indefensable. Kuddos Everlong.
Larry
Larry missed the point entirely. I thought I made is quite clear I was not defending anything Rastaninja did (or others say he did). I said that you -- and that includes me too -- have only hearsay about what he did by what others on here have said about it. That does not mean I do not believe them. And I totally sympathized with Danforth's anger about being impersonated on nanc's blog as I had the same thing done to me by someone on here (?) impersonate me over on Free Republic's blog and I was none too happy about it -- to put it mildly.
But you are MISSING THE POINT! I said clearly you had every right to the opinions you personally gained by you directly reading Rastaninja's own posts stating his views on different subjects (conservatives, Israel, etc.)
However, as to the other things he has done (exploding emails or whatever they are), you have no first hand information except what you have read about it being done on here written by other posters.
That does NOT mean those other people are not telling the truth. It merely means it is THIRD HAND INFO you are receiving. Do you understand the difference between "hearsay" and actually knowledge and opinions formed because you directly read what another person posted under his name?
The point SAR and I were making was only that the same analogy could be made when you got angry with people making a judgment about Cheney based on what they read written by others. (Although how we ended up using Cheney and Rastaninja in the same analogy gets more beyond belief by the mintue. LOL)
LARRY is wrong because he's jumping into this "lesson" thinking we are defending Rasta and bringing up all the old blog crap again. I have no more first hand knowledge about what Rasta did than you do and I've been here a lot longer. The point was not to play judge and jury on Rasta's past actions -- it was merely to make an analogy, the meaning of which I'm afraid went over your head.
And, LARRY, you know what we are trying to do and your full of crap to bring it in and try to use it for your own ammo in your blog fights with those guys. Leave me out of your personal little battles with them.
Later all - much later. I've nothing more to say on this subject.
No one, at least I wasn't, doing it to pick on you, Everlong.
