What constitutes a legitimate cite on this board?

@Shodan

Have a look at this thread for an example of how a Doper was misled by his own political bias not only to accept the interpretation of a website as Gospel (a leftwing source, it need hardly be said) but to misrepresent what his own cite said. And it passed unremarked until somebody came along who did not share the same bias - and pretty much blew it out of the water.

It passed by unremarked from 2:37PM until 2:55PM, when AHunter3 first questioned whether it was a pre-existing contract. By 3:02PM, Wierddave was calling BS on at least the first half of the OP. So it’s not like it was some huge pile-on before anyone got around to questioning the cites in the OP.
