Actually, one post by Rudy would have done the job - notice how the tone here changed when he chimed in.

But I don't fault RedRadier for his exhaustive post, he knew what he was up against - these people had gained the trust of many here. Like I said, it took paragraphs to convince - or one statement by a trusted XF member (Rudy) to set things strait.

But there is no reason for Rudy or Boiler to apologize for passing along bad information. Neither of them ever told a lie, they just got duped into spreading one. A victim need not apologize.
