Let me guess. You immediately assume that Leo forged a screen shot but accept at face value the BC that not one expert will say is genuine (and all but one who have spoken out have said it is definitely NOT genuine)?
The “reason” you utilize depends on Leo forging a screenshot. You ridicule others as having tin foil hats because you claim that Leo is committing a conspiracy. lol.

butterdezillion, you make a valid point, but here's the problem with it, from my point of view.
Speaking personally, I have yet to see one single thing from Donofrio that's valid.
Now I will be the first to admit that I certainly haven't read his whole blog. I've only read in the region of 4 or 5 different articles by him.
But every single one of them has been bad. And by bad, I mean that the logic is flawed or twisted, or perhaps the information itself is flawed. It's like fail, fail, fail, fail - and so far, through several instances, Leo has proven 100% "reliable."
And his 100% reliability of posting stuff that is mistaken - at best - means that I don't trust one single word of what Donofrio tells me. And you would be wise to look for yourself into others' criticisms of his writings, and prove for yourself whether or not what he says is actually true. Don't take my word for it.
Earlier, I posted a thread in which Leo himself stated that a few years ago he had put forth a major treatise on the internet in which he claimed that the drummer from his favorite rock band was the Messiah, and Leo was the Paraclete (this is a Christian term meaning "helper," and usually refers to the Holy Spirit of God).
Why would you, whom I take to be a reasonable person, want to put your faith in someone who is known, by his own admission, to have widely and publicly claimed, "So-and-so rock drummer is the Christ, and I'm the Holy Spirit"?
And why would you choose to throw your allegiance to that person, and take sides against a fellow FReeper who has been here since 2007, and whose postings, as far as I can see, are universally conservative.
freedomwarrior is neither a troll, nor a rambling lunatic.
Unforunately, the thread with Leo's description of himself - sourced from his own blog, so it's 100% authentic - no longer exists. This happened because of the huge brouhaha that arose after I posted it. No one denied that the thread was factual, but several people chose to mount massive personal attacks on the messenger.
The original is here.
Given Leo's track record, I think the burden of proof falls on those putting forth his claims as if they were fact.
