Is anyone on the planet really daft enough to read some of the nastier bile in Current Events and believe that it must be true because it was posted here?
Current Events. Is anyone on the planet really daft enough to do this?
I'm afraid it would seem to be the case! I can't tell you how many rumours I've seen posted as 'fact' when the only place they've shown up is on these very boards!!
