LOL....so you repeat what I said using phrasing that sounds better to you but means the same exact thing and think you have done something??????????? LOL

You replied to my follow up post dumbass, where I said:

"Allegedly" is a tool used to skirt slander charges while convicting people in the court of public opinion."

Then you replied with:

"the term "allegedly" is used as a legal precaution by any news organization when somebody is suspected or arrested but not yet convicted of a crime."

Which is tantamount to the same thing but it sounds better to you lol

"Since he obviously doesn't know that, it makes you wonder how much, if any, Greg actually reads or listens to the news other than reading some right wing blog or listening to a right wing radio station..."
So, it's quite obvious who the dumbass is...

LOL....you actually said the above and quoted my 2nd post when you replied not the 1st one when you said the above dumbass.....so no, you are either straight up lying or really just that dumb and desperate to save face by claiming to have been responding to my 1st post. What a putz lol

Here, let me quote your entire response as well as what you were responding to....

You quoted the blue and said the red above in response to it....as I said, you said the same thing I did, just phrased it differently because you didnt like the way I said it and acted like you did something, so tell me again how my post arrived AFTER you said the above...YOU QUOTED IT DUMBASS LOL

Everything that follows is your attempt to to make it appear you knew what it meant all of the time. You didn't and anybody with half of a brain can see that by merely reading the entire thread.

LOL....I knew then same as now exactly what it means.....Rich is right, you are dumber than a box of rocks....but obviously desperate to prove otherwise lol

View the ad....then click the green button in the red circle on the below example pic that says "place classified".....Until you do, you are the only one that can view the ad.

Just a bogus explanation that has nothing to do with the actual reason the term "allegedly" is used and you have to be pretty far gone to believe it...

Note I also said this in the same post " "Allegedly" is a tool used to skirt slander charges while convicting people in the court of public opinion."

Which is exactly what you said just phrased in a way you didnt like LOL

Like I said....dumber that a box of rocks you are.....

Just some observations after being here for many years. Putting up wanted ads seems to draw scammers like flies to sugar water..... An overabundance of caution should be applied when doing so. Not saying dont do it but be really cautious.

It is nice to hear paypal is being proactive in weeding out the dirt bags as well.....a bit disappointed to see got me too posts though. I would suggest if you get scammed report it here immediately as well as send Herb notification to [email protected], dont be embarrassed to do so. It can happen to the best of us. I have managed to trade here for a lot of years and most of my astrogear was bought via AM without getting burned even once.

I am betting I passed on more than a couple of deals that were actually legit out of caution over the years as well..... If my spidey sense goes off the least bit I insist on a live conversation by phone. Certainly not a cure all but if they are not willing to do so then I am out immediately. If the email being used doesnt match up with their paypal email I nix the deal period right out of the gate as well. Picture searching is your friend as well.....

Ok I admit it, I chuckled a bit at that......but Rod's twisting and turning to cover his stupidity does bring out my Rich side lol

Following an explanation of what "allegedly is and why it's used, it morphs into this:

"Yep thats right....go ahead and support a much over abused practice of reporting things as fact when in fact no one has been convicted of anything. "Anonymous Sources" and "allegedly" are little more than propaganda tools used by the press to convict the subject of something before a jury does all in the name of getting there 1st in the news cycle. "Allegedly" is a tool used to skirt slander charges while convicting people in the court of public opinion."

So, Greg still has the same idiotic idea in his head that the term is used for for some sort of nefarious purpose so the press can get away with "convicting people" before they go on trial. Basically, it's the Trump version that the media is "the enemy of the state."

Still trying to prove just how idiotic you are I see.....
