This is how I feel about many stickied items that are very quickly proven false but were either presented as a BOOM! Fact! and then abandoned because it was clearly someone getting excited to the point of needing to post false info. It makes the board look so dumb and so willing to believe anything. And it makes the board look like liars. Or fake news. Which is supposed to be one of the absolutely glaring and major differences between MSM and the board. Egos. Power. Corruption of ethics. Drift of task and purpose. Basically waay more destructive to the cause than any shill could hope to be. Worse than dooming, I say. It would be so powerful if this place was fact checked even a quarter of what Wikipedia is. Really if people here were the info aficionados they purport to be, there's be no need for fact checking. Everyone would pride themselves on having the tippy top most verified shit known to man. Not on everything of course. But the main things.

if you've been around Q forums long enough

I'm old enough to remember the Eric something and the Lord Stephen Christ wars on QRV. What the hell is a 'concave earth' anyway? 😄
