I read the comment: Interesting that there's about 5x more hostility expressed toward Debka than AQ.

The difference is that it wasn't posted to you nor was about you specifically. My complaint is about the direct personal attacks. We could do without them.

Checking the veracity of media sources is one of the key functions of FR.

I totally agree with you there. I don't post threads unless they come from valid news sources. I questioned this article before it was even posted. The difference between this article from Debkha and whatever lies you've caught them in from the past is that there is something there. I've been researching communist message boards recently and found that the majority of the peace protest in Washington have been planned on those message boards.

It was directed at Debka critics on the thread, and I was one of those. So it was directed at me. And, since I thought it was a very despicable comparison, I responded accordingly.

Agreed. It was posted here on FR as well. Debka does get some stuff right. But that doesn't change the fact that the poster who said that Debka critics are harder on Debka than al Qaeda was full of ka-ka.
