Di-van:

You are absolutely right. You can post whatever you want as many times as you want. Lord knows at least you're not turning the air blue like some folks. I disagree with your self judgement that you are a critical reader. If you go back to that article AND READ IT you'll see that it is full of outrageous unfounded exaggerations. Whatever makes you think that the illustration is of anything whatsoever? What does it contribute to the he-said she-said nature of the story to-date?

There is a difference between information and content. Princeton has just published an article by a philosopher on the nature of Bullshit. Unfortunately the web provides a neverending pipeline of bullshit to all and sundry, and forums like this allow a brief interlude when we can *maybe* filter it out, in between repeating ourselves, furnishing endless blue clickies, and screaming insults at each other.

I'm finished for now. I sent you (Dianavan) a PM as well.
