Hi, I'm not trying to attack the NFB. But to me, I absolutely hate inaccuracy.
At least they let the rebuttal be posted. Hopefully, that has changed quite a few things. That does not make me like that organization any better, though at least, they finally, despite it taking half a year, stood up and took responsibility for it. Which I suppose is a good thing.
