TRex @ 79

Whether we are talking about the bolting together of hands or torture with an electric drill, the distinction at this point is fairly academic, don’t you think?

If we base our statements on particular rumors that we cannot corroborate rather than known verified occurrances, we’re offering truthiness rather than truth. And that’s simply unacceptable to me.

Thanks for changing your example to a confirmed case.

Jeebus, you guys are beginning to reason and write like wingers. I used to have a high opinion of FDL, but lately you’ve been not much better than Wizbang.
