Thread Name: Folklore: Who or what is or are Snopes?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Who or what is or are Snopes?
"Chris,"
Your first message, posted under the name "Chris," tried to smear snopes.com without giving any specific information. Somebody should have called your bluff. Instead, Charley Noble posted a message, questioning you simply because you were a guest. And then Don(Wyziwyg)T questioned your grammar - still not addressing the missing documentation for the allegations in your first post.
You posted a second message with a "hurt" tone under the name "Chris" and said you would not be back, and four minutes later posted an anonymous and nasty message. We don't look kindly on people who post civil messages with a name and then post nasty, anonymous messages - so therefore, all your messages were deleted. I have undeleted them so people can see your duplicity, and I will delete them again in a day or so. Ironically, I was about to post something questioning the rudeness of Charley Noble and Don(Wyziwyg), when you posted your duplicitous anonymous message.
If you wish to post a critical message, you'd best post some specific information supporting your claims. But no, Charley and Don should not have questioned your name or your grammar - the content of your first post was faulty enough. Please be mindful that you are a guest here. My mother always told me that when I was a guest, I was expected to be on my best behavior. You have chosen the name "Chris" - I expect that henceforth, you will not post here anonymously or under any other name.

Please remember that this is a thread about snopes.com - not about Chris or his grammar.
