That person was wrong and was told he was wrong and he knew he was wrong. Later he gave this "wrong" information several times at rgcc. Now, are you telling me that a post like that can linger on? Why should falsehoods be allowed to live on? When it is read it can be believed as true. After all, not everyone has the time to check out all the messages on ccc. If you must leave falsehoods on ccc, I suggest that a note be apended stating that the comments have proven false! This BS that everything be permitted is crazy. PERIOD!
