I just edited my comment about it being opinions right before you posted this. LOL And I agree with what you said. Yes, I could ignore the comments because I know not to believe what they are saying, but others who are not following this case as closely will believe it if it's continuously stated as facts when it's not. Heck, I believed it when I first started coming to this forum. I thought that I had missed something important somewhere down the line, so yesterday I spent hours combing through the links to find where LE made a mistake about the *advertiser censored* and there isn't a single link about it that isn't people like us discussing it in forums. It simply a theory from people playing Devil's advocate.
BBM: Yep, it happens over and over, case upon case, time upon weary time. IMO people not being clear as to what is "fact" and what is "opinion" is a huge detriment and brick wall to maintaining factual integrity and getting any real sleuthing done. And people having to take the time to go in and correct the same erroneous assumptions based on opinions means less time for actual sleuthing. It is tiresome. But then again, if a person wanted to throw a cog in the works and divert attention from the truth, it's an excellent tool for doing so.
