Objective is one thing and emotional denial another. when someone gives or willingly post research the next step should be verification. Remember that a post is not good until verified. As I have said for a long time .... If it is not in black and white it does not exist. Probably some people have is even when the black and white is provided it is immediately slammed. Me I prefer case # captions, solid DD. However to believe a CEO or IR or PR or an on-line poster is not using common sense. Deal with what you can verify are the facts but that still does not make it a truth. GB

Example what is belief vs fact vs truth .... Once upon a time there was a young girl of 14 years of age who was in the woods with a 17 year old boy. The mother of the 17 year old boy in her responsible role could not find her son. So off she goes to find her son. Catching the young couple in the woods she becomes furious. Here is her son with a sorry reputation of a girl. After some verbal words the young girl became arrogant and disrespectful beyond belief. The mother took both children by the arm and walked them out of the woods. Upon getting at the midpoint the girl goes home and the mother with son-in-tow head for their home. When the girl's mother got home the mother was fit to be tied. Storming over to the 17 year olds house the girl's mom raged total disapproval for the events. The boy's mom went nuts and then on a campaign for the next week accusing and flaming the girl's mom. Mounting more and more the boy's mom gained support against the girl and mom being low lifes. Immoral being not fit to be associated with as a parent or a neighbor. Horrible disgraceful people that should be completely ostracized. Well, the girl's mom tried to defend her belief and explain the boy's mom simply had no business scolding her daughter. According to the kids they were just walking in the woods was all. Nothing happened. Of course the boy's mom was convinced the girl was nothing but thrash with horrible upbringing. After a month of harassment and abuse the girl's mom went down to the courthouse and made a civil suit. Of course the boy's mom was more than happy to come to court with her collective group of supporters. In court the boy's mom raised all sort of Cain about this horrible infection to their community. Along with her were numerous character witnesses to this complain about the disease in their community. After 15 minutes of this the judge looks at the girl's mom standing there all alone to see what she had to say. The girl's mom went off on her side for the next 10 minutes trying to explain the events. Interrupts were numerous as the judge tried to calm the women down numerous times and give the girl's mom a chance to speak. Finally the girl's mom made it to story where she had the problem. Simply she had a problem with the boy's mom physically taking her daughter out of the woods. The judge silenced the courtroom immediately. Turning to the boy's mom he asked if she had physically grabbed the young girl and took her from the woods. The boy's mom said she took the girl by the arm along with her son and escorted them out of the woods like a proper parent and any responsible would. The judge issued a warrant for the horrible crime of the boy's mom touching a minor for assault. Reminds you of the internet doesn't it. What is belief vs fact vs truth? :-) GB
