    I'd love to see a quote (from someone here, not some random moron on twitter) suggesting that the SOHR is "an impartial source of intel". Two of us quoted a news item sourced from them (which turned out to be right) and you promptly threw a conniption fit about it being a thin source and wanting confirmation. Confirmation came. Yes, it was a thin source, and I said as much - but you're acting as though it is being quoted as if it were the Times or the WaPo. You're taking a tiny scrap of fabric and manufacturing a king sized quilt.

    This would be a much more solid argument if there hadn't just been a bunch of claims as to how it wasn't a thin source, etc.

    The Jewish high holy days are Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur and they usually are scheduled in September and/or October.

    Passover and Purim, while important holidays, are not the high holy days.

    Does anybody on this board share links while offering no comment at all more often than you?

    Such speculation borders on outing. I leave such things to you.

    @Neutral Corner does, and he just posts the link and not a Tweet, which gives much more info.

    ?? So what's your complaint against my referring to @Blame Me as a sock puppet?

    The proper response there would be to admit your mistake. Fair enough suggests he made a decent subjective point, not that you made a clear factual error.
