Maybe, but there is a difference between a "dude on the street" and a "professional"...

Writing an article, you should have as good information as possible on the subject, not insult the person you are writing about, and not take a side so clearly, right?

Right, Andrew Thomas's remarks are libellous and are answerable in court. That is, if Buzz decides to bring a case against him.

In democratie every body say what they want to say and take the side they want to take, as far as I know. And I dont see real "insults" toward buzz ...
I dont know if he is a pro or not, this is not our fucking problem. There is no way of defamation in his article, this is just a big critic.

Anyway u are quick to jump on the critisim throat and as far as I know EU is realy criticable.

Im out of this thread, it stink the hiena over here

Just unplug ur head outa the school and look at the REAL workers in the street, look into their eyes and say that EU is a marvelous place ...

So ye, u have the right to not agree whith him, even replying on the website (in a correct way) but u dont have the right to ruin him or his work or being intrusive in his life via his @mail or contacting his boss or whatever ... thats a shame acting like Hyena. It show u as twisted and dangerous community.

U guys are realy weirdo sometimes

Actually, he should be held accountable for what he writes. You may not realize this, but most people believe what the news media tells them. If it's in the news, it must be true (way too many people subscribe to this). The reporter could have done just a little homework and found out that other virtual investments in Entropia have been successful. This is just another example of the media printing their "opinions" instead of investigating things. In this case, he should reap what he sows. He should be held accountable.

Apart from Mr Thomas making insinuations about Buzz's mental state by mentioning "his carer" and language like "possibly sedated."

BTW, in a democracy you can't just say (or write) what you want. That's why people end up fighting deformation and libel cases in court.

On your earlier post, Hulyss, you said that 50% of people on the street would think purchasing virtual items was crazy. As a journalist, shouldn't people like Mr Thomas be educating those people on the street?
