I'll try to clarify a few things.
We don't copy/paste posts from other forums or blogs including media site comments.
It's ok to post something like 'hey, check out the comments here' and include the link and post number of other forums and blogs. This includes the media sites that have comments from readers/viewers. Don't copy the post. You may paraphrase what is being said to give context on how this relates to the discussion here.
Our discussions are just that. Our discussions. Not discussions about what and who is being talked about elsewhere. Otherwise, the discussions become what someone is saying elsewhere.
If someone has a discussion with a person somewhat involved in the case, it's fine for the poster to relay what was said. That's ok for discussion. But we're not going to discuss other people's posts that are posted somewhere else and take it for the truth of the matter. Those posters elsewhere can come here and relate it first hand and they may contact Tricia to verify who they are and how they are related to the case.
