re: #153 Charles

You’re right. I did miss that. I would say Spencer has some explaining to do, more about that link on his own website than about joining this facebook group though.

I know most reasonable people probably feel the same way. But it’s incredibly easy to join facebook groups and most people simply don’t read them too carefully. See, for example, the link in my last post about the anti-cancer group whose description included vile anti-semitism and nutjob conspiracy theories — over a million people joined that, most of whom I think would have been appalled had they known what the group’s description actually said. Moreover, while group names can’t be changed, the group’s description can be. Most people, when they join groups that their friends invited them to, probably don’t even look at the group again for a very long time, if at all, and don’t know whether the description has changed since they joined. My point in my last comment was simply that there are just too many plausible possibilities here to jump to conclusions on the basis of the group membership alone. However, I admit once again, I was unaware of that link on his website. I would like to hear what his explanation is for both things now.
