Editorial: The Georgia Hoax: Should We Move On From It?

Back in August, the Georgia "body" situation unraveled and fell apart when the principals in question were exposed as hoaxers. Now, it was a major story for about a week, but it eventually went away-at least for most folks. But there are still a few who seem to continue to discuss it and bring it up. Well, the main reason these folks bring it up is because there seems to be a new development just about every month since the whole thing fell apart. There is a new auction on Ebay where the original costume and freezer are being offered, so it seems that this story will not go away, no matter how much we may want it to, so it is perhaps prudent for most of us to ignore it, but for those who want to continue to bring up the story in some circles, well, perhaps it is their way of dealing with it, almost a form of cathartic therapy. And it is not prudent to continue to tease these people in the chatrooms if they continue to bring it up and just let those people bring it up if that is how they deal with it. For the rest of us, yes, it is time to move on, and not continue to bring it up, but don't tease the others who choose to do so.
