Most intelligent people understand the nuances of social media and know which pieces need to be taken with a grain of salt. For example, if Adam Schefter's official account tweets news of a signing, we know we can trust it. But most people in this thread had the sniff test going on this Crowder item and it didn't pass the sniff test for most.

In fairness, Chico's statement was not designated as specific to this board. I read it more as a general indictment of society. This board excepted, their is a significant portion of the population that follows the "If it's on the internet, it must be true."

Also, even if nothing comes of this, the mere fact it was posted will cause many to doubt it's falsity no matter what comes out. Defamation is insidious that way and social media exacerbates that particular aspect of such things. Even after its deletion, screen shots will circulate. Further, years from now, it could come back through those same screen shots giving it fresh legs once again.
