What is wrong with you, that you so blindly think that everything online is true, in spite of so many recent stories just like this one that turned out to be false?

Except you didn't hold back your judgment. Your response was: I bet this turns out to be yet another in the line of recent "anti-gay" hoaxes.

"I bet."

You have already placed judgment.

So what is worse, someone blindly taking it as true or someone blindly taking it as false?

I'm in the bi-camp of "it could go either way," but I thought Abby had a nice response whether true or false.
