One thing that we all learned in journalism school...silence at critical times is noteworthy.

I don't know why they are not locked. There is some fascination with this character who has provided us with absolutely nothing noteworthy or useful.Liquidrage said:Why are Eklund posts not instantly locked?
I explained fully "who" is he as much as anyone knows in a recent post.
He's a total crack pot that's been spamming flyersphans.com and before that philly.com for years with his total BS.
When I get a 2 hour heads up from someone with connections it gets locked. Even though it's been shown to be true in the past. But Eklund posts aren't locked?
Makes no sense to be honest. Just because he has a blog doesn't mean he isn't a total crack head that is so insistant on being believed to be an insider that he's spammed the same forum for years with 1000's of craptastic BS rumors that weren't even close to the truth. Do yourself a favor here and hold his BS crap-log to the same standard you hold other "unconfirmed" rumor-mongerings.

bleedgreen said:there is no reason for it to be blocked, people read them - and the conversation on it is as hot as on any thread usually. most of it eklund haters, or course. i dont put much stick in it myself, but its still good to read.
Liquidrage said:There is every reason because HF has rules about posting "rumors" from non-credible sources. Why Eklund's and not everyone elses? The rule exists for a reason and it's a good one IMO. Because rumors would be rampant on a site like this without the rule.
Basically an exception has been made for Eklund-rumors even though it is 100% known that this dude is a total whackjob and a fraud.

whoa. did you just say brooks doesnt print bs rumours? every trade rumour he has ever printed was bs, and during a regular season he has at least one a week. as for the lockout, he puts bs rumours about whats being offered on the table in literally every article. he does exactly the same thing eklund does, just the other side of the spectrum. your upset that eklund says its almost over, but you have no problem with brooks saying the owners have absolutely no interest in playing and have already cancelled the season? whats the difference? its equally unfounded and unproven - just from opposite ends of the story. brooks was saying that three months ago, im not talking about last week.FLYLine4LIFE said:Nope, cuz Brooks doesn’t post BS rumors, he posts his opinions.. Which most of you may not agree with. He doesn’t write up articles about how there is a deal in principle and to get ready because hockey is coming back. His rumors are actually rumors...some of them come true and some of them don’t. Eklund rumors(bs) never come true.
bleedgreen said:no offense, but you cant call what eklund says about the lockout bs, then defend brooks saying what he prints isnt bs, then say....well i havent really read what brooks has said about a lockout - i cant really comment on that. you just did comment on that - not trying to be a jerk, but you did. im just saying that brooks and the other guys bring nothing but bs rumours to print all the time, and they have no backround in printing anything other than bs rumours as it is....so why is eklund any more bs than that? its all bs. no one other than the guys at the table really know - so we cant say that anyone has creditibilty on these issues.
