We are talking about the difference of opinion and news here. Stay on topic if you are going to start complaining.
Would you call a gossip tabloid quality journalism?

sit down everyone. we gonna get schooled on professional journalism by a video game blogger.

Would you call a gossip tabloid quality journalism?

Technically, yes.

The U.S. does XD

So how many authors have there been total now?

Like 5?

If so, from who I know, I believe I was the best additional writer though I only contributed with 3 articles. :D

Lol, I'm so roostery.


I personally think the Bulletin is doing well though Icy, the fact you're getting more criticism only shows you're getting more views.

I like constructive criticism, but people always get opinion and news confused. Nobody really seems to understand what sets the two apart, so they are speaking about things they don't understand and its frustrating as there is no way to resolve it, because it already was refined and changed long ago and they still can't see it.

Every time I try to read RTB's code without knowing exactly what I'm looking for and where to find it, I get lost easily. It's like trying to read a book with a high density of big words I don't understand really quickly. I get through it without remembering a thing about what I just skimmed over, but with the urge to proceed anyway rather to try and read it again.
Ha ha.
Yeah, it's a big mod, so if you just open one random file and start reading, you won't know what the function that were referenced in 'parent' scripts (those that executed the script your reading) actually are, which makes it almost impossible to understand without reading the enitre mod. Even then, I swear there are functions not declared anywhere in the mod, but maybe I just got lost.

While I should point out that you seem to say you're open to critism to everything except how you're not actually open to critism, and that is quite odd; I don't really feel you're articles are too opinionated, maybe they have rushed information, sensationalism, or are about unimportant things, but for the most part (save for anything about Ephailtes) they just don't seem opinionated.

sensationalism, or are about unimportant things,

Yarly. The second part justifies the first part.

But thats just it. Most people don't know what to say so they just use the word biased which is downright stupid of them.

The stuff about Ephailtes does come off biased though.
Because everyone knows you two dislike each other greatly.
So I'd hold off on personally developing stories about him or RTB.
Just saying.

Well actually, the arguments you two get into are somewhat intresting/entertaining, so maybe you shouldn't stop.

I think you should just turn this into a completely opinion/rant blog instead of trying to be so much like a news source.

"This just in, Ephi is a meanie head!"

There is an opinion section if I ever want to write my personal view on things, which I rarely do since its not something people prioritize on reading.

I would have thought a professional journalist like yourself might have retracted your "article" and even apologized to your readers for misleading them with unfounded bullstuff drawn from your own ignorance. I didn't know pure coincidence was the only prerequisite for you to write one of your spectacular exposés on how I'm such a tyrannical national socialist dictator who burns jews for warmth etc. etc.
