Current Talk '24 I / Re:WB ORDERS FILMING OF NEW DS PILOT
« on: May 06, 2004, 11:16:54 PM »I didn't particularly appreciate your comments regarding the "credibility" of my website.
It wasn't actually my comment - I was merely referring to a post that's been made on your site in connection with the report.

Why call something into question that you're not familiar with at all? Would I purposely post something wrong? No. I'm hoping I just took things the wrong way and you're not going on site-bashing.
Truly, I'm not bashing your site - only that particularly report - or rather the way in which the report was presented. One would hope that you wouldn't purposely report inaccurate info - and I honestly believe that was nowhere near your intent. But I still stand by the opinion that reporting info without citing the validity of its source is at best an unfortunate mistake.

The reason the two unrelated e-mails' sources were unnamed is because, as I said on the site, I don't know how true it is myself.

I wanted to put it out there that the rumor is out there, instead of just sweeping it under the carpet and acting shocked if it does end up being true later. I don't want it to be for real, and I hope it's not.
As I said, I can certainly empathize with wanting to get the news out. But at the same time, reporting info, even if it's expressly stated to be a rumor, without citing the source isn't something that should be done, whether it be in DS fandom or in the world at large. I'm sorry if you think that's a harsh statement because I truly have nothing against you personally - just the manner in which the news report was presented.

Anyway, I hope my reply doesn't end up getting deleted now or gets me immediately banned
You have no worry that that might happen. We don't delete posts/ban people simply for a difference of opinion.
