But you have no basis for making the allegations you are insinuating based on
one website. You have no idea what other business interests, experience, prior
businesses, prior employment, etc, that may have given him that experience.
Instead you jumped to a conclusion based on a single webpage that was pretty
much underconstuction.

You focused on trying to discredit his experience rather thane examining his
comments on their merits. Many others agreed with his comments, even before
he posted them. Yet you are focusing on this one person and jumping to
conclusions without any real basis.

You don't know this person, his history, or anything about him, but you want to
discount the view others have on him based on a pretty flimsy and light
conclusion.

Fair? Not in my book.
