Gentlemen, I declare this a class 5 shitstorm

Here a month and declaring things already huh?

To me its not an issue of whether or not you use a crowbar, its whether or not you tell anyone but the people who go with you about it.

This whole issue seems to be brought on by the negative publicity, which I think we all agree this has caused. With that said, we live and learn, or at least I do.


To fail in what you've yet to achieve is more the spirit of exploration than to make no attempt at all.

If anyone gets some value from this thread, it should probably be "do your homework before talking to the reporter". Figure out where you want the story to go, find out where others have fucked up in the past, etc. Maybe read what the reporter has written before, and see if they're a complete idiot or not. If I was approached by a reporter and their previous work was this level of un-researched, mis-quoted horseshit, I'd either laugh at them or see how much BS they'd swallow about satanic cult tunnels and fake locations.

Also, why the hell am I mentioned/implied as being part of Action Squad (I'm not). Did the reporter just pull the weirdest sounding names out of that documentary? I was on-screen for like 4 seconds in "Into the Dorkness", meanwhile Jim had so much face time that we've joked about it being his dating video, and he doesn't merit a mention?

I wouldn't be too hard on Panda and Dante, their only mistake was being media n00bs and jumping into something without planning or thinking. Hopefully their mistake can be a learning experience for the next group who wants to do an interview (Do we have a "how to talk to the press" guide/thread on here for n00bs? (sans flamewar)? We should. Maybe someone with more experience could write one?)

It shouldn't be that black and white
If your friend has a 'zine and he doesn't dish out locations or names, but just writes what this is and posts some cool picture, there is no harm.

Or you could accept reality and know that someone WILL give an interview. It's going to happen, so deal with the situation instead of pretending it can avoided entirely because it can't. If it's not you, who is it going to be? Maybe you'll be lucky and an eloquent and ethical person will be who they find, or even more likely, they find a douche bag smash, trash, and steal fucktard who will give the interview.

I've said no to interviews just to see them look for someone else who ended up being nothing more than a thief. I could have done the interview and ensured that bullshit didn't see press.

When presented with the option of having a degree of control in what is printed, or leaving it to chance, I'll take the option where I have some say in how my hobby is portrayed. Sometimes responsibility means choosing the lesser of two evils.

It requires wisdom to understand wisdom: the music is nothing if the audience is deaf.

If you're going to talk, I hope you have something to say and at least a passing understanding of media/news. Otherwise, just say no.

my thoughts:

if you get somebody who doesn't know anything about cameras to write a review on a new dslr the review will turn out shitty..

same applies here.
if you get somebody who doesn't usually explore to write an article about ue its going to be awful. and possibly fuck shit up for the rest of us. even if they are trying to be positive...

Your intense and stalwart support of something you wigwag so often on and for people you have never met insults me.

My opinion changes slightly as I get new information and hear new opinions, that's what they're supposed to do in my book.

And no I haven't met them, but I had the pleasure of talking to them and they seem like nice people.

It's definitely no harm since there will not be an audience. ;)

THIS GUY GOT IT!!! No, publishing to CNN/NY times is probably not the best idea, people in power actually read/care about it then. But this was a newspaper nobody gave a rat's ass about, and so no harm no foul.

I think you need to grow up a bit and live on your own instead of your parent's house. Any time an article like the one printed is run in the mainstream, it hurts all of us. Bad research is death, period. Bad articles are death, period. Until you live in the world of UE a little bit more and truly understand that for most this is a lifestyle and some a hobby, you will never be accepted. Inane comments that you think make you look popular actually make people like me think you are an immature child.
