I guess we are going to start ordering each other around now. Just remember, you started it.

Okay...

"What we are talking about HERE is a different issue: we are not talking about ML copyrights, but about the info blurbs on this site proving the links between FCF and the Family—-links which you yourself now acknowledge exist."

GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT, VERY BALLSY, YET ANONYMOUS COORDINATOR #2:

FACT: I have always known and said that there is a link between FCF and The Family. It is not something that I am just "now" doing.

Your false and misleading statement suggests that I was either at best, too stupid to understand this after physically visiting FCF on a number of occasions, or at worse tried to cover that up.

The rest of your message just attempts to extract questions I asked and make them appear to be statements. I included language in what I wrote to give benefit of the doubt, since I do not live under the same cloak of secrecy that you do, I really don't have all the facts. But, this is being discussed on a public message board, so as part of the public here, I get to ask questions and give my observations on what I am *allowed* to read.

You have the advantage of knowing all of what is going on. The rest of us can only guess by what you have allowed to leak out a little at a time. The style of my message includes the possibility that I could be wrong, and I'm willing to revise my opinion if given more information.

Even with more information, I am still of the opinion that if you either call it inviting a lawsuit, or taking a stand. When you do that, you have to live with the consequences, which might include some folks being in disagreement with your stand.

I agree, the Coordinators on this board made a bold move two years ago. But, if you are going to act in a bold question, you probably need to learn how to stop going all to pieces when someone doesn't see it your way.

What you have entered into here is a conversation, not a pulpit.
