Did you flunk out of a logic class in high school?

I said: It is wrong to falsely accuse someone of a crime that they haven't committed and you and others are wrong for condoning it.

You said: I don't know the accusation to be false.

If you don't know if an allegation of criminal activity is true or false, then you shouldn't condone someone who purports it unless they have proven that the criminal activity exists. This is why my statement that one is innocent until proven guilty is relevant to the discussion. The fact that there are laws protecting people from false allegations should tell you that there is something wrong with this.

Let's pretend that Wexler alleges that Kevin robbed the First National Bank of Fraudsville. Would a responsible person:

1. Rally behind Wexler and say good boy for letting us know that Kevin robbed a bank.

2. Ask for proof that Kevin robbed a bank.

If you answered 1, you have no ethics.

<I've lost count of how many people claimed that a company was on the verge of bankruptcy and were completely wrong.>

Obviously nobody made this claim. I only said that to show you how irrelevant your statement was.

<And just plain wrong.>

It's not wrong. The only substantiation that Wexler has ever provided for his "fraudulent technology" claim is a completely irrelevant article about homeopathy. The article has nothing whatsoever to do with the reason that Zicam is labeled as homeopathic. He is just hyping his position by tossing around the word fraud because he knows that he can't win an argument based on anything factual. His "stock fraud" claim is based on his bogus homeopathic argument, so his "stock fraud" claim is bogus as well.

Kevin, I have recently discovered the -next- button is a blessing when I encounter a poster like Dan Z.
