That is no excuse. And why use a quote that doesn't tell you something new at all (regardless if it's official or not)? 😉
Of course not. That being said, the fact you expect everyone to read through all this content from a 80 page long PDF that, if you just simply skim through it, looks just like the Dark Empire source book, which originates from a trustworthy source, is rather ridiculous. In the future, we should double-check shit more throughout, I guess.
BC people argued he froze the Jedi so I gave them the scan and the quote, duh. 😬
That being said, Nai, AncientPower says she believes you forged dozens of fake quotes in the past. Thoughts on these ridiculous allegations?
I understand the issue if it was intentional forging, but shunning members (i.e. Nova, ILS, etc.) for using the quotes is pretty laem given it was a genuine mistake. Might as well call Tempest a liar ******* for using the fake Drew quote supplied by Jack with the logic being suggested. With the exception of the second page, and the final page, the sourcebook looks rather credible, and no one expects something on such a scale (almost 100 pages of text) to simply be... fake. I agree we all deserve a couple dozen whip-lashings for the retardation here, but anything more than that? Nah, not really. Just that members should re-read ILS' respect thread again, TBH.

Agreed. This was an honest mistake that could have happened to anyone. No one expects someone to fabricate an entire sourcebook.
At least the users weren't forging the quotes themselves. Sure, I'm sure the people who used them should be reprimanded, but this was unintentional forging that nobody really even knew about.
Even respected members like Nova didn't notice the issue. So let's just accept what happened and move on.

Having studied literature, that is exactly what I expect from people, at least, if they want to use a source for anything other than personal entertainment or print it out as toilet paper. And in this case, looking at who the author is would have been enough to see that it is fan fiction. That's usually the first thing I do when I get a new piece of material into my hands. Just a suggestion, though.

You should.

The scan would have been enough - and official. 😉

Firstly: I'm not interested in stuff that people say about me behind my back in the first place, much less coming from people that I don't care about.
Secondly: Since I seldomly used quotes to argue here in the first place, I would find that notion pretty hilarious. I come from the school of deconstructivism myself (e.g. Jacques Derrida) and hence I'd rather rip quotes apart than using them myself. So "forging" evidence is clearly not my field, especially since I seldomly argue my personal convictions here, which would make such an act pretty much senseless. And I find it rather senseless in general, to be honest.

Seriously. Checking the author of a source is such a basic thing to do, that I find it rather absurd to "overlook" that stuff. I'm not implying that anybody did this intentional. I'm merely saying that anybody who doesn't check that information hasn't internalized the basics of literature analysis. Which is kind of odd, when the people in question want to play on a field were literature analysis is, pretty much, the basis for everything. 😉
Other than that: I seriously don't care. I'm just poking fun at you. This is an online forum and you really shouldn't take many things here serious. At least I don't. 😂
