this looks like lies to me, CP has never been a dot org. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:19, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Why would that make the image a lie though? I remember a time you called RW a dot org on the radio back when we were a dot com. The search was for conservapedia, which seems legit to me. tmtoulouse 06:22, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
And I was so embarrassed to get it wrong, luckily, dot org forwarded to dot com. I still call bullshit on this. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:27, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
why though? tmtoulouse 06:28, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Because nobody in their right mind would report "conservapedia.org" to the FBI. Oh, snap. Maybe they weren't in their right mind. Please ask the uploader where they got it? ħumanUser talk:Human 06:31, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Of course they have no files on "CP.org" since CP.ORG does not exist. Fucking lame image. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:32, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
No one reported them to the fbi. It was an FOIA request for information related to conservapedia, to see if CP ever contacted the fbi. The image is from a blog post about the topic, was posted at SB. The page looks like any other FOIA I have ever seen, and no reason to see why it would be faked. tmtoulouse 06:33, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
The FOIA included a request for CONSERVAPEDIA which would have found any references to CP.com. Seems totally legit to me and relevant to the article. tmtoulouse 06:34, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, try it. CP.org = "conservapedia.org This page is parked free, courtesy of EasyDomain.com" This image is lame and utterly fails. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:45, 4 August 2010 (UTC)

I dont see what that has to do with anything. An FOIA was requested for files related to conservapedia. This is the result. tmtoulouse 06:47, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
The "subject" of the request was "CONSERVAPEDIA.ORG" as far as I can tell by reading it. Of course there is nothing. Also, there wouldn't be anything under CP.com. Why would there be? What is the point of this image? ħumanUser talk:Human 06:50, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
It is CONSERVAPEDIA (CONSERVAPEDIA.ORG). So "conservapedia" was included in the search. It was an FOIA request. If CP had actually contacted the FBI about vandals attacking their site then the FOIA would have shown that. This image is proof that CP never contacted the FBI. tmtoulouse 06:53, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
OK, but the .org part seems fishy to me. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:54, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
All right, I see the subject is "both". But why did the FBI add the .org? Or was that just a clueless FOIA request on top of the CP name? ħumanUser talk:Human 06:56, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Didn't Andy have several Conservapedia domain extensions registered at one time? Possibly he didn't renew them all. I don't think this is a fake but the .ORG thing may jut be a cock-up (Hanlon's Razor). If you want to verify it perhaps you could request your own FOIA search (although I've no idea about the cost).  Lily Inspirate me. 07:55, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
We can try and contact the original blogger and see if the typographic error was his fault or further down the chain. tmtoulouse 07:57, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
I dunno if it's ever occurred to you, but have you considered reading, thinking and possibly getting up to speed before going on one of your reversion sprees? Your habit of going "THIS IS BULLSHIT EXPLAIN IT TO ME MUMMY" is hard to distinguish from being a bloody idiot - David Gerard (talk) 08:24, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
