Bob Roth did not make a mistake here -- it's part and parcel of the defective and inadequate personalities that run the TMO, deliberate policy that they pursue over and over regardless of the fact that it does not produce results (useful results, although all sorts of negative publicity is generated). Also, Roth did not make any real apology -- the altered WP story is still on the invincibleamerica.org web site, and clearly he is not telling the truth about the way this thing played out. I would not describe myself as agitated over this issue, but it certainly is annoying to see birdbrains managing the movement. But that's life in the Kaliyuga, which cannot see its trends reversed instantaneously, or there would be "fear and havoc": http://geocities.com/bbrigante/retards.html#light
