The whole thing beggars belief. It's about as subtle as claiming that Osama endorses Kerry.
I can appreciate what you are saying, martinguerre, but what I would hope we can evolve into is that if a member needs to post a comment, then the veterans should respectfully suggest that.

If a source has questionable merit, then the veterans should know to say something like, "You know, I've never seen a story verified from this source. Do you have any other sources to back up this allegation?"

Do you see the difference?

As it stands, this is just one step above, "You suck for posting that, you troll!"
