This isn't the FACT thread, it's a RUMOUR thread...why can't you just enjoy sharing / discussing info. It can be fun, it's doesn't have to be what you're turning it into right now. I might add, I think @peaches5 is pointing out the difference between a "rumour" and "speculation", or as the source said "scuttlebutt". All the threads posted in Trades, Rumours, and Signings start with a credible source. We discuss what the credible sources have to say. That's why its basically taboo to post Eklund rumours . There's little point in discussing it if the mere purpose of it is to only "discuss" without any credibility behind it. Still hope it happens tho! Edit: I think we all just want this to end today, or have an answer if it's happening or not. Edited October 8, 2020 by Maginator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He posted someone else's tweet adding nothing to it as it if its some legit source.. It's just some random dude he knows on twitter. There was no speculation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even comparable. You are making a post that is an embedded tweet that anyone who sees would assume is some legitimate source and its not until you scroll and read later posts that you go oh this is just some guy I know on twitter who likes to post things and isn't a valid source... okay? so why you are posting his tweet like it's some report coming out... If you had said everything in one post I would have moved on and ignored you completely because the post and idea was completely worthless. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can dislike the post...fine! But, you've been a-hole from the jump. You could have just run it by me in a nice way, but i guess that's too hard for some these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason why there are rules for citing unknown sources. Nothing more, nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the rule is that the origin of the thread has to be considered a valid source. You can post anything you want in the discussion part. If you started a whole new thread with that source it would have been considered invalid.... but you didn’t. Some folks have no lives and want to play “mini-moderators” instead of coming up with actual content.... put them on ignore and go enjoy the day.
