I’m afraid I posted that under bad information basedon an earlier FR thread, when I double checked after I posted that, the section about “Haters have moved to Free Republic..gay bashing etc” involving FR in 1999, as I recall the earlier version of that entry stated something different.
My mistake.
Accepted, no problem.
Point being, we on FR have to be at least as careful about checking on our information, as the thousands of folks who collectively edit Wikipedia. Inaccurate information is rampant on the internet.
Similarly, my regard for FR as an information source is based, not on the 95% of comments which express personal opinions and propagate rumors, but on the 5% who research what they have to say before they post it. Of course, FR is a forum with a point of view, and does not claim lack of bias.
In any event, regardless of what one is reading, skepticism is a good thing, IMO.
