Are you as tired of Erudite as I am?? If so, there's at least 2 questions posted today that he lists newspaper articles. True to his form, he's changed words and left items out. This is illegal. Go to the questions and report his abuse. We'll at least be rid of him for awhile.
(2 of the questions, someone has gone and listed the actual source or article, so check it out yourself.)
It's a shame I have to waste points on him, but I'm tired and fed up with his lies. If he had a point or a real cause, it'd be different. However, it's bashing our troops, especially the Marines on a daily basis. If it was fact based, it'd be different. However, it's all based on lies and his personal hatred.

Bryrose....you're right, he does get an opinion. I have no issue with that. However, this time he's done something illegal and something should be done about that. Everyone who's replied to this question has the chance to check the source and see for themselves. Nobody has to do anything, but at least they have the chance.

Bryrose.....I understand what you're saying and I agree. I try very hard to research many aspects of things to see different views and hopefully find some truth. I know exactly what you mean as I've posted facts with links before and told that I was stupid. Trust me, I try to avoid propaganda, but it's just everywhere right now. I appreciate your position and the way you worded it. I also gave you a thumbs up. I however, disapprove of Chief's answer because of how he handled it. Thank you for your statements and I'll be looking for replies on this site from you....whether we agree or not, I think you're someone who's answers I could respect.

We should consolidate our efforts to track his whereabouts and then pay him a visit. He seems to have many questions, so it only makes sense to be there in person to answer them for him.
I believe I could answer much better if I was there in person.
Semper Fi.

If somebody posts a quote from another source but does not offer a link, I do not even read the whole post. I scan the message, as soon as I realize that it is a quote and I look for the link.

Erudite is just a whiny little pu$$y who couldn't handle being in the military and now he b!tches about it and the government and the president and... you get my idea. I did six years in the navy, and while there were quite a few things I didn't like about it, I don't trash talk it. I learned a lot of valuable information and lessons, and it really helped me to mature. If he hates living in America so much, why doesn't he emigrate to somewhere else?

The part that I think is the worst of it, is that if you have followed his cyber diarhea you will read that he was in my military for 6 years and is a retired police officer. I'm sure he was a "great success" at both. Failed soldier, failed cop and definately a failed American. But I do look forward to bashing his quesitons out of the park. They are like potatoe chips once you start its hard to stop.

While I don't agree with Erudite ever, it is still just an opinion. I cannot be hurt by people's opinions. If you feel strongly that his information is in error then post the truth as you see it. Then report him if it makes you feel better. We believe in free speech even when we don't agree with it. You cannot change Erudite's opinions, but by posting true answers to his questions you can in effect set the record straight, or give an opposing viewpoint. The goal should be to encourage people to learn the truth for themselves, not to censor opposing opinions.
HEartstrinG: Don't misunderstand I am not in disagreement with you, or presenting any type of indictment against your position. However I see this type of thing multiple times a day on Yahoo Answers. People misrepresent facts, and in some cases present outright lies to support their position. I have given up on battling these people through the reporting system. I prefer instead to expose their position with the truth, and let people make up their own minds. Trust me when I tell you there are just too many people on here who aren't interested in facts, but rather just a validation of their own position no matter how offensive it might be.

ERUDITE was a draftee Marine in viet Nam , in the rear with the gear .
Probably received a BAD DISCHARGE and was thrown out .
Knew several like him in the Corps , none were worth the paperwork it took to get rid of them .

I am sick of him spewing his b.s. on this board. In his little blub under his avatar he states he spent 6 years in the military. I just don't believe that.
I have also reported him several times, but nothing happens. Guess its just a waste of time.

Absolutely! No way that liar is ex-military.
Everyone who finds his posts offensive should report him for abuse. Enough people report him, and Yahoo will remove him. Then we just have to watch for him to show up under another pseudonym and do it again, and again, and again, until he finally gives up his inane BS.

Amen brother !! Amen!! I think since he has so much sympathy for terrorists and insurgents that he needs to live amongst them and see if that won't change his mind about our troops and country. Of course, even the terrorists and insurgents don't want a coward like that living amongst them either.
