All very well but could you honestly look yourself in the mirror and say where youve disputed other peoples rumors over the past year that you havent got more than a few wrong in the fulness of time?

With respect you better than anyone knows Dooks, that unlike some on here when I've got it wrong I've put my hand up and admitted it. There a been occasions in the last 12 months you've called me on it and ive put my hand up and said it

So if I am found to be wrong on this and have been led up the proverbial then I will do the same.

Hope a few others have the guts to the same  :thumbsup

Yes, respectfully that is true. But what i am getting at is perhaps keep an open mind.
The problem here is that the rumour involves someones character and behaviour. If people are incorrect with these rumours you are character assassinating an innocent man (who in this case has a mental illness). Other rumours generally player discontent or are about club issues. It doesn't really matter if we get those wrong as you are not denigrating an individual. That is why I asked Jackstar if he saw bad things with his own eyes rather than hearing vicious rumours and just propagating them. Have you not ever experienced "Chinese whispers"? Try the experiment yourself. It's really interesting.

People know the rules   :banghead

Don't post unsubstantiated rumours on the forum

I don't care what is appearing on BF, that's their issue

But at this site, from a legal stand point we snip them

Not to start accusing anyone receiving unfair treatment but can you explain why some people can post rumours and cite twitter but when someone quotes big footy it's different? Twitter is not beyond big footy in any way and any nuffer can set up an account and post what they want. It's not even specifically twitter, it just seems some sites are allowed and others aren't and even then the consistency of allowing said site is non-existent

If he really won't play again for us then you would have to look to trade him or drop him in or after this years draft. Pity, an addiction is a real mongrel to beat.

I really don't know why we have to explain this to you again. I get that you don't agree with how we handle these things

But for the final time - we follow the legal advice we have received from day 1. And believe it or not it has held us in good steed. The times we've been threatened with legal action including (the most recent being only a few months ago) the removing of posts has kept us out trouble.

Have also said time and time again we don't care what other sites do. I don't why nor do I care why BF allows rumors to be posted like they do. We simply don't allow it here.

As for the twitter reference; if it is coming from a confirmed journo then we allow it..
