Isn't it a good thing to find out the truth?
Is it a good thing to make baseless,factless accusations in public? Aren't we encouraging the continued creation of baseless accusations if we jump to respond to each and every one which come to past?
You have to take the track-record of the accuser into account when evaluating accusations based on "private" conversations from "inside" sources.If the person making the public accusation has a history of crying wolf...or over-blowing the situation to inflame passions because of a specific bias...should that person continue to receive the same level of respectful discourse in the future? At some point, the person repeated looking for public answers to private rumors, looses credibility...and looks more like a source of rumor making...than someone looking for "the truth." Féliciano's judgements about mosfet's longterm interests and motivations probably have a more certain "truth" than some rumors. I think i heard Fox News was going to offer mosfet a job to do reporting about IT...becuase he his commentary meets a certain standard of unbaisedness and factuality.

couldn't agree more
to emphasize the the point there is now an "update" on the original pclinuxonline story, saying that the "rumour" is baseless
question - why couldn't mosfet have asked p in the first place? (and so not have posted this crap everywhere)

Guys, I saw a comment. I asked a question about its validity. I didn't make accusations or name call or lecture. Havoc answered: "No". That's good enough for me.
