(68,918 posts)285. I've been extremely clear and concise with facts
and links. It comes down to this: don't turn people into more than they are. I don't defend the indefensible. I made the mistake of attempting to defend Edwards even though his son of a mill worker post was pure pablum BS. How wrong I was. Mr. Grayson is cut from that cloth in my opinion, and he proves it all the time.
