luke... i suggested you mislead people because you claimed that pat friend did not say something she is quoted as saying. in the end, it's anyone's guess, i assume, whether she actually said it or it's a communist site or whatever it might be...
however, in my original post, i quoted that site. it was not made up as you and others have suggested on here.
as far as michael's comments, they were hasty and in my opinion poor taste. nonetheless, that's his battle to fight, not mine.

Perhaps you are having comprehension problems with what you are reading here. If you go back and re-read even just the first one to two pages of this thread, you will see, and I will summarize for you since you aren't comprehending, that:
1. Because I couldn't find the quote with my Google search, I said it was MY thought that it (P. Friend's supposed quotes) didn't exist (because it was so fantastical.)
2. FWAA found the quote, referenced that it came from an American-Communist rag sheet, not known for its reporting standards. (BTW, do you believe everything in the Enquirer or how about Weekly World News...you know, the one with headlines like, Three-Headed Baby Born To 94-year old Woman. ??)
3. So, in essence, I learned something from the board, thanks to FWAA. Many threads can be sort of organic, in that, as readers post, you learn things from them and from each other. Once I learned that the quotes were attributed to the communist rag, I never continued to claim that she didn't say them. I said it was my belief that, considering the source, it seemed impossible that she would make such a statement.
So, you see, in the long run, it was not I but rather the original Facebook poster who misled others by:
1. Not originally providing the source for the quote on the Facebook page (the one that has since been taken down).
2. Claiming as fact, that Ms. Friend, did indeed say those things, thus coming to the ridiculous conclusion that only union f/a's can safely evacuate an a/c.
As for Michael's comments, I'm glad you agree that they were in poor taste. But I see from the front of No Way AFA's main Facebook page that he is one of the leaders of the site. Interesting.
