Yes, that's a frustrating but common thing with journalism these days.

ELOC, have you thought of freelancing for mainstream media on this case?

There are multiple meanings for a lot of things. I'd guess that just means "I guess." Plus, Urban Dictionary often has some incredibly obscure stuff that neither of these people would be using.

4Chan isn't on the dark web or underground at all. Google "4Chan" and it will come right up. It's an unregulated, anonymous messageboard that's very much on the known web and is very, very famous, the opposite of dark. Because it's anonymous and unregulated, there are sub-boards there can be...

I have popped in to discuss this one time, and this is something that's in the MSM now as a side story to the case, so it's going to come up. It's not terribly important, but it's in the news as part of the Wetterling case now. The onus is on the writer to meet the most basic ethical...

I have asked her to stop infringing on real reporters' copyrights, "taking it up with her" in blog comments.

I grew up in that neighborhood, had friends in common with Jakeob McKnight, was actually there when they found him, and had a close relative who was tight with law enforcement. That sounds too good to be true as far as a (lurker!) poster popping in, but I was searching for the case and saw that...
