Members daysfan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Um, basically I think everyone just wants you to report exactly what your source said and not provide your own assumption because people will take that as your sources tell you she's joining as a writer.

Members juniorz1 Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Anyone ever tell you that you take yourself a little too seriously EK4L? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Totally Agree!! If he does have a source then just report what he/she said WORD FOR WORD and leave it be. Putting your personal spin on it and then having that turn out to be incorrect, is going to make others question your legitimacy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane4life Posted February 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 OK, I won't report anything else. I promise. Juniorz, I take myself too seriously? I'm so sorry about that. Please forgive me. I won't be doing that any longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 I hope that comment's satirical, because I'd trust Erica with MY LIFE. I KNOW his sources are accurate and his information is legit. Maybe he assumes sometimes, who cares? That doesn't mean we should throw stones at him. The fact remains: HE BROKE the [!@#$%^&*] on "Passions" story. Got it half wrong, but still broke it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mitchapalooza Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 For f*ck sakes...get over it already. No one is telling you NOT TO POST or BLAH BLAH BLAH...we are just saying, post what you HEAR, if you are going to post something and claim it is from an industry source, you don't need to put your own opinion/spin on it...most of them time it makes you look bad...thats all.

Members EricaKane4life Posted February 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Personal spin?? Why wouldn't I or anybody automatically assume they meant as a writer? She's a writer, that's not a personal spin. If someone told you Claire Labine is coming to Guiding Light in April, wouldn't you assume it was to WRITE and not to play Meta Bauer??? SERIOUSLY TO ALL--you should be FAIR, because this isn't fair. I had no other conclusion to draw but that she would be "WRITING". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members daysfan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Yes, because people will start to doubt that you are reputable after a while if your assumptions interefere with your actual scoop. Other people who post spoilers do this, and they just put a big line after the spoilers and then state their opinion/assumption or after it is over put something like their name and then their opinion symblozing the things that come after the colon is their opinion. I think that could work for you EK4L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 You do. So you were wrong about a couple things and people are pointing it out to you. Big deal. What do you care? Why bother going on & on defending yourself when you could just admit that and move on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mitchapalooza Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 This is NOT just about this post or this scoop, this is about tons of other things you have posted here since you signed up at SON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricaKane4life Posted February 6, 2007 Author Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it. I was trying to give heads up. Sorry to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JER Soaps Fan Posted February 6, 2007 Members Share Posted February 6, 2007 THANK YOU! People, please. Who in his right mind would EVER guess that a writer who is known for writing, is ACTING on a soap that someone says she will be 'joining.' If Stephen King were rumored to 'join' "X" primetime show, or 'make a deal' with "X" primetime show, NOBODY would thinking, "Oh, so he's playing Uncle Barney!" No. NO, NO. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO~~!~ They would first think, "Oh, so he MUST be writing, RIGHT? RIGHT?!!!!@!$@#$ The same is true for [!@#$%^&*]. I don't fault you at ALL for the mixup, EK. Granted, I agree that you should stop assuming things and just report, word for word, but I won't chew you out for this. It is an innocent mistake. Thanks for ALL you do!!
