I'm not keen on finger pointing without evidence. Doesn't matter which side of the fence it is.

Admittingly this is a personal problem of mine, but I feel there should be some level of fact checking in peoples posts.
Asking for facts is great, but accusing someone of trolling when they are just stating their opinion is not helpful in my opinion. And bringing up another member's low post count like it makes any difference to the validity of their post is petty. As far as I know, there is no hierarchy here based on post count. If anything, it seems like you might cut someone some slack on their VERY FIRST POST to this forum.

Debate over the impact of President Bush's troop "surge" has been at the center of exchanges this week between Obama and Republican presidential rival John McCain. Obama opposed the war and the surge from the start, while McCain supported both the invasion and the troop increase. A Rating: 5
