there is no 'general consensus' here ever.
and if you try to say one then you will be presented with all kind of opinion that troll you to respond that will be presented as vicious alternatives to whatever you are peddling.
so don't ask for 'consensus' .
what is Gateway Pundit?
I've maybe been linked there, but what kind of site do they present themselves as being?
and why are you name fagging them?
PS about Alex: oh, such a villain! how dare he hound the Clintons for 15 years and make sure that there truth got out there. What a horrible horrible person, how dare he.
PS there is no 'consensus' about him either.
fame fagging is always discouraged because it brings people into danger here.
