Indeed, this site is a forum for various stories to be posted that may or may not be accurate. When something appears to be fake or satire there is the opportunity to expose that - an opportunity that would be missed if there were censors keeping it from getting posted in the first place.

: In the video linked in the above post, Jordan Sather says he

: At the same time, though, Rayelan has told us she was advised
: to make Rumor Mill News somewhat disbelievable, to keep RMN
: from being viewed by the bad guys as an actual, serious
: threat.

: Because of that, and because it should be clear we deal in
: rumors here, RMN's presumed legitimacy and credibility are
: not of any great concern to me, to us. :) We prefer to post
: lesser-known truths as much as possible, but we make no

: away from the RMN buffet and what to leave behind.

: Blessings, all.
