Pre-Rumours MacNuggets

Dear Vivfox,

I also did not imply that you said it either.


It is just that when a lie gets repeated over and over, it somehow is taken to be true.

Just look at American politics as an example.

The only way it stops is when people continually have to correct the BULLS__T artists every time. THe price of freedom is vigilance.

Not just American, you Yanks don't have the exclusive rights to political lies

Well said, Vinnie. Your observation leads to my only real problem with this ongoing "MacNuggets" thread (and some other threads on the Ledge as well), which is that a lot of writing from all over the web is presented here uncritically, with no regard as to whether it provides anything new or is just rehashing things we've seen a hundred times already, or - more importantly - whether it's even accurate factually. To me, if you're going to post things like the snippet that's been specifically discussed in the past few days, you owe it to people to not just re-post someone else's "bulls__t", as Vinnie puts it so well. And you should have enough knowledge about the subject not to post these items if you can't tell whether or not they are "bulls__t".

Sorry to anyone if they think that's harsh, but it's what I believe. As Vinnie also stated very well, "when a lie gets repeated over and over, it somehow is taken to be true." If we here at the Ledge are true fans of Fleetwood Mac and its members, we should be more careful so as to not spread lies about them.

Thanks Vinnie and Sharksfan.
These words came straight from my heart. just couldn't find a way to state it myself.

Exactly!! My participation in this thread has been zero. I can't believe it has grown to 13 pages ... so much cut-and-paste bull**** from the web. It doesn't belong here.

Your participation counts as one now.

Cut and paste B.S.??? (He said rock and roll ballerina, where else would she go?)
