Here's one: The former porn star/professional escort that David Mikkelson divorced his wife to marry is now an administrator at Snopes. No amount of mental gymnastics can get me to look past those red flags.

Because he married a pornstar means he doesn't do the research properly, wat?

    So someone can't function as a normal, honest employee (what is an administrator? Sounds like either a forum admin or glorified secretary) after they've participated in the sex industry? Or is it the infidelity that bothers you? Either way you're the one with a knee jerk reaction.

    So? What does a porn and escort background have to do with one's ability to be an administrator?

That's not substantive, and certainly doesn't have any effect on the thousands and thousands of articles they've posted. Would you care to link that tenuous red flag to the investigate articles Scopes produces in some fashion?

former porn star/professional escort that David Mikkelson divorced his wife to marry is now an administrator at Snopes So because David Mikkelson either divorced his wife and married his assistant, or divorced his wife and hired his mistress, you worry that he might be corruptible, given the right incentives. OK, although this kinda skates over the fact that their consequent unreliability would be obvious to others and thus reduce the market value of their service. I'm not clear why you keep mentioning the fact that the other woman was a former porn star/professional escort. Are you trying to argue that sex workers are inherently untrustworthy people or something?
