The Real World: D.C. (Spoilers)

[quote=wiggyndc;96356] I'm not going to cast judgment on that argument. I'll let you do so. And I'll let you decide who has provided the better coverage and the original content regarding Real World DC.[/quote] I've already passed on my thoughts about her issues with proper citation to the website team at metromix. Most large operators sort this kind of stuff out relatively quickly... Oh and "someone"[URL="http://dc.metromix.com/tv/blog_post/meet-the-cast/1325485/content"] left a comment[/URL] on that new blog. :wink2:

[quote=wiggyndc;96603]Hey Bacchus... Time to repost your comment on Metromixdc. It's been deleted. I guess because they intend to continue stealing information and not attributing it. Disgusting.[/quote] I'm already on my third comment. Deleting it is not going to make it go away, so she can delete away. I'll just repost as I am only illustrating the reality of the situation. You would think by this point she would be so ashamed of her actions that she'd just do the right thing and give credit where credit was due. However, looking at her primary blog, it is clear she is use to snagging stories from all over the web and taking credit. There is only one fix to this situation and that is to properly attribute the information (i.e. here for some pieces and [URL="http://twitter.com/RealWorldDCNEWZ"]@RealWorldDCNEWZ[/URL] for the rest.) If she ever wants to be taken seriously as a blogger, she needs to approach the posting of information like any journalist and that means citing sources.

[QUOTE=molds13;96624]Umm..who do you think started it, silly?[/QUOTE] Haha...I guess I know now. I saw it when I complained too, lol.

[quote=wiggyndc;96630]Wow.... she's really done it now... check out the bottom of the cast page of metromix.. slap in the face.... even worse than not citing=lying... let's teach a lesson. my issue: if you're employed to blog your standards should be higher.... any hobby blogger can repost info.... i'm livid.[/quote] Here is what I got from Stephaine: [QUOTE]Hi, I spoke to our freelance blogger and she stands by her work, however she did make one modification to her “Meet the Cast” blog entry: [B][I]Note:[/I][/B][I] I got 98% of this information when hangin’ with these fine roommates, however the other 2% I got from my fellow “Real World DC” followers @ollignom, @realworlddcnewz, and @molds13.[/I][/QUOTE] I agree, let's be persistent. She is just digging a deeper hole with this continued disinformation. She was not "hanging out" with the roommates when most of this information was already posted here and on the twitter feed, so who does she think she is fooling?

Now she has changed the note at the end to include real names: [QUOTE][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman][LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=arial][B]Note:[/B] I got 98% of this information when hangin’ with these fine roommates, however the other 2% I got from my fellow “Real World DC” followers -- Christopher Wiggins, Martin Mongillo, and Sarah Mullins.[/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT][/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] I think this is the most entertaining part: [QUOTE][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Times New Roman][LEFT][COLOR=#333333][FONT=arial][I]As I get more information confirmed, I will be sure to update this! If you have any information on any of the roommates, please contact me! I pinky promise to keep everything confidential! ;)[/I][/FONT][/COLOR][/LEFT][/FONT][/COLOR][/QUOTE] In other words, when she gets the balls to post what has recently been updated here, she will post it and claim she got it from hanging out with her "buddies."
