How f*cking hard is it to Google one of those mass emails before you post it on a LJ comm, "just in case"? Of course the next move is to get all defensive when people point out YOUR POST IS WRONG. I have heard that line of logic before and it's a huge pet peeve of mine. "Well, it might be true so I thought I should forward this email." Well, the movie theater might be on fire, so should I yell "fire!" just in case it is? It's spreading misinformation.
