Thank you.

Interesting - liberals tend to do that to my posts - and they are never deleted.

I guess that this forum leans to the left.
From what I see, this forum is slightly moderate, but the ones that are not get pretty aggressive in their comments.

The difference here was that she explained that she modified the post. She wasn't trying to hide it.

It's pretty sad if quoting someone, modifying the quote and saying "fixed" would get deleted. It's normal forum protocol. Now if someone modified your post without calling it out, that's a different story.

I'm assuming he knows how to write.

Yeah - I responded earlier to Hurricane Kid's post - and said as much.

I understand what was being said now.

Russia may have useful information, and if they do, I hope that they share it.

If she could communicate, so can he, eventually.
I think he could communicate by blinking, at the very least. Doesn't require the sign language.

Well - he was a student at a university whose own classmates recognized him on TV and said " that could be our friend - but it can't be".

I would bet my net assets - which aren't very much - that he can write rather well.

LOL

I learned that lesson real quick not long after I joined here. I didn't get an infraction, but I think it was the very first post of mine that got deleted here.

I haven't done it since.

Really? She altered a post that someone else made, and posted it under their (Harrier's) name as if that was what he wrote. Her own comment was "fixed". I've seen that before and I think it's awful. Someone could think that's what he wrote.

Well - yes - but his future attorney would have a field day with that.

People can blink involuntarily, and such a paradigm would require a binary inquiry system - as in "yes or no".

What if he blinked involuntarily - and that was admitted as "evidence"?

Nope - they need to establish a reliable communication system.
