Perhaps before your time.

If you have no lawyers in your life, maybe you don't take it seriously, but while you can say "you think... " about just about anything and anyone, making false claims, assertions, accusations, can and DOES get you litigation. But, to point to TSF and the RW doing that and not worrying about it, really? Anyone they don't like will be smeared with blatant lies and accusations in a never-ending tirade. Is that what we do? Really? And about Bill Gates' philanthropy? Damn... As I said, he's got some personal issues that are deserving of a call-out, but I'm not about to defend someone misrepresenting (intentionally, apparently-- despite multiple corrections) his support of global health and climate change initiatives dating decades--when few else were.

So, let's be respectful of the owners and not justify our fellow DUers doing so--especially when it is so damned provably WRONG, okay?
