And why on Earth do you care? For you, this entire issue is nonsense, and our time would be better spent discussing anything else, yet here you are, trying to keep tabs on what people who don’t even agree with you are doing.

One would think your time would be better spent discussing anything else.

I wanted to know what was happening and not believe something just because I read somewhere that someone said it.

I've followed the matter for about four years now and commented on it because I wanted to do my part to keep FreeRepublic from turning into a Birther nuthouse or being a constant source of Birther misinformation. In 2008-2010 there was a very real danger of the uncritical repetition of Birther falsehoods taking hold. And a fair number of us wanted to keep FR's reputation from being dragged into the mud by the Birther gangs

That task is largely complete. Birthers are now a very small number of people here on FR and their misguided opinions are pretty much ignored now. The only ones left are just a few hard-core cases who have serious emotional attachments to their beliefs.
