Whats the matter - afraid to ping me ?

leaking false stories is an absurd notion and would be laughed at by the ethics people...

"Oh, really? Seems to me "leaking" false stories is what gave us Rathergate ...."

No - reporting a false story as fact is what gave us Rathergate -

I stand by my statement, and I appreciate the time it must have taken you to go through my archives to find it - I hope you had an enlightening read.

As a courtesy in the future, please place a link so that others can easily read my entire post in context.

no just an oversight.

I put leaking in scare quotes to indicate they aren't really leaks in the true sense, but planted stories, or stories that purport to be divulging some conspiratorial type secret.
Rathergate was a fabricated story purporting to be "leaked" from private files.

I didn't take much time at all, a direct link to the thread was provided, and what caught my eye was within a post or two I believe. And, for the curious, they need only look to the post I was responding to in order to find context.
But anyway it was just the statement, didn't matter who made it, that as a POV I found interesting, and was a springboard for my own take on it. That's why I didn't think to ping you I suppose.
