The first website that ran it as "his story" was lying because that person had banned my source from his website and why would he submit a story to him now.

Understandable. That would way piss me off too.

Im with you about warning people and giving people the "heads up," but you really need to have a 2nd source to corroborate your 1st. I will be the 1st to agree with you that there are a lot of shady and fucked up people in this business. I also see this business eat and spit out female talent as it was yesterdays trash. From what i see its pretty bad, but you need to be more careful on who you call out. You should have 2 separate sources saying the same thing before you publish it. Because if you are wrong and it is in fact a person with a vendetta against another, the out come will never be good. Good people are loosing jobs in this business every day, it would be a shame if someone got wrongly fire do to the untrue nature of the article you posted or the source had a vendetta against the person you are writing it about.(seen that one a few times)
You have been on point about a few people, but way off point when you wrote about Megan Stokes. I know Megan and her husband personally both are very hard working good people. Why do you think so many people attacked you and rushed to take her back? Because she does scenes?? Not at all.
Megan Stokes is one of very few women that made big things happen in such a male dominated business. To do what she has done on the business side and be a non performing woman is unheard of. Meagan didnt sleep her way to getting to where she is. Everybody knows her because of all of the B to B business she has done in this industry. She has never fucked anyone over and has a solid reputation. She has made a lot of people a lot of money.
Keep in mind this industry is a place where everyone says bad shit about everyone and yet nobody has said anything negative about Megan. Then you choose to write a less than flattering piece with your baseless facts about her. Thats why you got slammed every other post. You attacked someone that has a spotless reputation with everyone on this board. And yes she actively goes to shows and is meeting board members and posters face to face.
Megan is the best example of you should have had two separate sources before you ran your story about her. You may not have meant to hurt anybody, but you did; Your self and your credibility as a writer.

And if you wrote this after every piece that you write or posted, i would respect for you. Because then i know what i am reading may not be fact. It just may be rumor or speculation. I would then look at the piece as just an entertaining read knowing, it may not be true. But i get pissed off when bullshit and unsubstantiated facts get pushed off as checked facts. Even worse what is written others may be taking it as facts.

If you throw down this disclaimer every time you post a story, you will have me off of your back. But also keep in mind we dont go to your Blog to read, you bring your blog to us every time.

Too bad you dont know what questions to ask or comprehend what is really going on, because i do know what you are talking about and i have 3 inside sources and all of the details of what you are trying to report. Too bad im not a reporter by trade. I will just say this, its BIG.
