Then why is he trotting that garbage out?

Davin :. — 2/21/2005 11:14:48 PM (archived)

First off, I never saw Tom de that, but I only read a small fraction of the posts here anymore. Even Toms.

But even then, why on earth would anyone find any credibility in the piece he links to, the inofrmation he links to, if the author of that information didn't even fact check his "Number 1 horror of the day"?

I guess the point I'm shooting for is: Why would anyone (especially Tom) knowingly reference anyone who publishes bullshit so weak that it can be de-bunked in 2 minutes of spare time? And supposing he knew he was linking to someone who is fooled by this complete crap, why should I then find Toms data trustworthy in general?

GIGO!!!
