Just an FYI on Portlander23's hidden post...

I'm not sure if that post was hidden because of the Stormfront reference, but StormFront Publishing, according to their website, is NOT affiliated with the neonazi Stormfront organization. I saw that people on their website were suggesting that they change their name to avoid such confusion in the future. Probably a good idea.

I was a bit freaked out by that, but the thread was locked by the time I saw it.

It took me less than 30 seconds to find out that the two weren't related (plus, it obviously didn't fit the hate site's m.o.).

On the internet:

1) Trust, but verify.

2) Take everything with a grain of salt.

Few minutes of research and I voted to leave it with an explanation that they were not the same people. i wish people would actually not jump to conclusions like the ones that just voted to hide. One thing that topped me off is the alerter provided no proof and lied about the links in the alert.
