RTL's birth

[Gene C]

If we were talking about a modern day situation we would call this type of talk "gossip".
All of this talk is very speculative. Since we are mostly adults here, we have all seen, or been victims of gossip. It's ugly.
Time and traditions, society norms haven't changed regarding this.

Whether it's something gong on today, or something that happened a long time ago, it bothers me to see two good people's reputation be tarnished over something we just don't have the facts to. It's OK to ask questions, it's ok to theorize. But, we are sewing the seed, and perpetuating doubt about the character of two fine people. And unfortunately I am as guilty as anyone on this. Sorry, but the damaging effects of gossip have come a little to close to home for me.

In my opinion, and I have no reason or facts to think otherwise, Robert Lincoln was likely a "honeymoon" baby.
