Debra JM Smith

We had no idea who this was until comments poured in. We researched the links provided and found that the people who gave the information were absolutely correct in what was posted. We were able to verify the details.

This section is where you can vent about Debra JM Smith. You may discuss any and all details that she has made public in chat forums, news forums, discussion forums or on Blog Talk Radio. You may not post derogatory comments about things that Mrs. Smith (that sounds like a bad pie) has not made public. Opinions do not have to equal libel.

The truth only, please. You must provide web links for any copied and pasted items that you wish to attribute to Mrs. Smith.

Abridged Caveat

Please see The Pharisee Letters: CAVEAT for our full statement.

We have this nifty right in the United States: freedom of speech. It is not harassment, stalking or libelous to discuss a public figure, to state opinions concerning a public figure, or to report factual information concerning a public figure. Public figures are considered (but not limited to): politicians, talk show hosts, movie stars or recording stars.

Public figures choose to expose themselves (figuratively) to the public and hence must accept that they have given up their privacy as it pertains to their public life. Any and all personal issues that they choose to bring to the public's attention (think Spears and her shaved head) are thereby open to scrutiny.

If a talk show host can "rag" on the president of the United States, the world can "rag" on the talk show host. If someone is too thin skinned to understand this, they really shouldn't assume the role of a public figure.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

This blog does point out the counterproductive and often harmful nature of fundie thinking. That is this blog's theme.

Because this is an open forum, language must remain appropriate for all ages and comments are required to be civil. We encourage a variety of opinions, even those we strongly disagree with, but if posts are deemed to be too inflammatory they will be deleted. Posts and republished comments contained in public chat logs will remain as they were originally posted since they are offered in their entirety for discussion/opinion purposes here and are to the best of our knowledge, the actual words of the poster to which they are attributed.

Thanks for your cooperation
