And no - "Who Really Killed Maddison Atkins?" does not give an accurate idea that the content will be "Jeromy once had dealings with the Cs and doesn't think they have your best interests in mind". The headline may or may not be accurate for the original thread linked, but that is not what model chose to highlight about the thread.<BR/>In other words: This headline may be accurate for a certain context of the thread, but we don't have that context. We have an entirely different one. <BR/><BR/><B>@jenni:</B> With all due respect - public posts are public. I have gone to Anchor Cove just now, without logging in or anything, and viewed the exact post quoted. So clearly it's not private at all. <BR/>I respect <I>your</I> desire not to speak about what the hell happened, but you have to understand that, without any further comment from either you or the Creators, what's public, what's on record, is you, on December 16th, 2008, going "They are asking for job submissions for a job that isn't going to pay" - and then, again, publicly, on record, on February 4th, 2009, stating "we saw the prize as a paying job we would love to work on", whereas the Creators stayed consistent with their message of "read the TOS, there will be no money".<BR/><BR/>I am not trying to say anything was your fault. You may have special insider info that explains that drastic change, and hell, for all we know you could be under an NDA. What I'm trying to say is, we respect your decision not to say anything, but, as long as you don't, <I>that</I> is the public info we have. <I>That</I> is what we see. <I>That</I> is what we have to comment off. It's not that we're having any ill will towards you, it's just that the only quotes we have of you are kind of sort of sending very confusing mixed messages. <BR/><BR/>The topic that started this discussion was whether the Creators can be trusted in regards to UGC, whether their intentions are good, and connected to that, money. Given that the original quote came from a TSIY thread, and the most recent example of Creators + UGC + money is the Misfits debacle, there is really no way in hell we could ignore that topic. Sorry, but that's way it is.<BR/>If you don't want to comment, that's fine. But then we'll be left to draw our conclusions from the public comments you made before.<BR/><BR/><B>@jeromy:</B> No show from me.

Was he actually depending on this money to come from the C's? Under 1000 YouTube subscribers (lonelygirl15 subscribers at that) and 30 people in a chat room isn't going to get him the brass ring. The fact that he's telling his little story now in this context is absurd. It is completely irrelevant and shows that he had no plan for MA to go on past the time it did. <BR/><BR/>So modelmotion. The answer to your ridiculous title for this thread is Jeromy killed Maddison Atkins. He tried to make money, it didn't work, and he ended the story.<BR/><BR/>Pissing and moaning about it now and bringing the C's into it is projecting his own failure to get sponsorship.<BR/><BR/>Why the hell is everyone a "victim" around here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2754228927937283278.post-50358520085264802902009-02-09T20:01:00.000-08:002009-02-09T20:01:00.000-08:00well, since jenni is saying she's done with it, i ...well, since jenni is saying she's done with it, i guess i will follow her lead. anon above can pm or email me (milo_went@yahoo.com) if need be.<BR/><BR/>---<BR/><BR/>i think veela's point is worth discussing separately: "For a normal news headline this would not be acceptable for the content because it doesn't accurately reflect the story."<BR/><BR/>i think newspapers break these 'rules' frequently. and since this article is more a 'style section' piece, its even more common to see a tongue in cheek headline.milowenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11970503858469369658noreply@blogger.com
