I do not know her but just from her comments it sounds like she checks in and catches up on skating news every couple of weeks.

I tweeted a few weeks ago how disgusted I was that TSL can rake in thousands of dollars so Dave can go on roadtrips - with which he always undelivers, he certainly suckered some V/M fans who expected him to share stuff about them on his latest trip - whereas TFTI's Patreon raises like $20 a month or something. <br /><br />-canadablueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-78187705746056809632016-09-24T16:19:09.223-07:002016-09-24T16:19:09.223-07:00Canadablue, thank you.

I'm not typing in a passive-aggressive tone.<br /><br />We don't reveal sources out of respect for the source with the idea being based on protection of journalistic sources. Protection of journalistic sources goes by different names in different countries, but it's a right in many countries and according to international laws. It's about protecting people who have information that they feel should be known but who might face consequences of some sort for speaking out. Consequences aren't necessarily legal, professional, or financial, although they can be, a consequence can be losing access to a person or entity. The concept is that without protection of sources, people would be less willing to speak up and it would impede the flow of information. <br /><br />"A marriage is a pretty open thing, even if it's secret, a lot of people would still know about it and nobody could ever trace the Information back to you. Especially not on an anonymous board like this. The ISU doesn't care much about a third rate team like HD either so they wouldn't try to come after you either."<br /><br />Again, not being passive-aggressive in my tone, but there are a lot of fallacy here that I can see would be easy to jump to. As far as tracing information, skating is a small and insular world. If I were to describe how I know about VM or how I know about HD would in reality make it fairly easy for others with knowledge to figure out who my sources are. Consequently, my sources lose their own access to information and I betray a trust granted to me when my sources shared their information with me. <br /><br />When it comes down to it, we don't reveal sources or explain exactly how we ended up knowing what we do in order to protect insiders and other individuals who'd be in a position to know stuff but merit privacy protection. Out of respect, we protect people for whom there could be consequences of some sort for revealing this information.<br /><br />I disagree on HD being a third rate team. They qualified for the GPF, were 6th at worlds last season, and are seeded on the GP circuit this season. They may have a fourth rate coach and choreographer, but they're one of the top teams in ice dance now. The ISU has a lot of agendas and I think evidence over the past four years shows that they care about a lot of things you wouldn't think they'd care about. I think it is always to ones detriment to make guesses on what and whom the ISU does and does not care about. It's an organization that could pretty easily have the label La Cosa Nostra applied to it. <br /><br />There is a lot out there about the protection of journalistic sources. As a start, I like this article, http://journalism.cmpf.eui.eu/discussions/on-protection-of-journalistic-sources/. You can google and find a lot of resources for the subject. <br /><br />I hope this helps you understand at least a little bit about why we protect our sources when it comes to VM and now HD.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-287534057378144782016-09-10T16:27:37.034-07:002016-09-10T16:27:37.034-07:00Why is everybody so scared to reveal their sources...Why is everybody so scared to reveal their sources ? If you don't want to tell how you know what you allegedly know, fine, but you sure can tell us why you don't want to reveal them. <br />A marriage is a pretty open thing, even if it's secret, a lot of people would still know about it and nobody could ever trace the Information back to you. Especially not on an anonymous board like this. The ISU doesn't care much about a third rate team like HD either so they wouldn't try to come after you either.<br />So what are you so afraid of ? It really makes no sense to act this secretive. <br /><br />( And please don't just give me a passive aggressive non-answer , as it usually is the case on this board. It shouldn't be too difficult to answer this normally, right ?).

Other than lying by omission about being married parents, the interview was mostly free of sham and they came across as the likeable people they were before they started shamming and moved to Montreal. There is a brief sham drop early in the interview where Dave Lease mentions that Zach's mother had said she wanted Madi and Zach to get back together. I'm not sure what their intention is with this. Baiting? Trying to drive a narrative with the fewer than 20 fans who seem to have their attention on social media? The bulk of the sham is confined to 3 1/2 minute segment between about 24:30 and 28:00. They tried hard to emulate VM.<br /><br />Zach: "I think no matter what we say, people are going to debate [if we're together] one way or the other."<br /><br />There really isn't any debate. The easily and willfully fooled believe them and then there are the few of us calling out the sham here.<br /><br />Madi talks about fans constructing narratives online despite what they show on social media. <br /><br />The fans doing the narrative constructing online are the fans who believe their lies. It's what we've seen for years with the willfully blind VM fans.<br /><br />In this discussion, Dave Lease makes a comment about online fans not being the smartest. I'll give him that, but it's the people who buy HD's social media lies that aren't smart. It's also an attempt to paint anyone who calls it out as stupid. It's the up is down and the down is up that is so prevalent in all aspects of ice dance.<br /><br />Dave tries to throw out a fan baiting scenario. "I think you should play this up this season. Some well thought-out Instagram post before Nationals, maybe, like a little handholding photo with some shadows and a nice filter, and then you could like use the lyrics..."<br /><br />Madi sort of mocks a fan gift for highlighting photos of them after a program instead of doing skating moves.<br /><br />They move on to talking about program-kissing or near-kissing. It's like wandering into a VM fan discussion from 2010.<br /><br />A few of us talked about this and none of us can ever remember fans discussing this subject when it comes to HD. It's like when Tessa tried to claim fans thought bad things about her because of Carmen.<br /><br />Dave said he wants Japanese fan blogs and videos debating if HD kiss in a program.<br /><br />Madi claims to be slightly terrified by the Japanese paparazzi that follow Javi and Miki. Sure she is. Insert a rolling eyes gif. HD really don't have to worry about paparazzi.<br /><br />I will give Zach credit for stating that he trained in Canton for awhile and that VM and DW's fire came out being competitive in runthroughs*, not drama. <br /><br />*that all of us know that VM were winning because DW could not skate<br /><br />Much like VM, HD still have the ability to come across as good people, and as their old selves, in interviews. The sham is cringeworthy though. It's chameleon behavior that contributes to the willfully blind buying sham.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-76880484271718163232016-09-09T17:16:30.731-07:002016-09-09T17:16:30.731-07:00omg I just came by this old video in YouTubeh ttps...omg I just came by this old video in YouTubeh ttps://youtu.be/A8iWyZ9AAf0 it's so awkward with Igor they don't even say hi to each otherAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006323501892676815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2583966972735299482.post-32528350400216708762016-09-06T18:47:17.017-07:002016-09-06T18:47:17.017-07:002:26.
