Why are people on here so unwilling to name their sources? Don’t you want credibility?

They don’t know your screen name, so how could they know it was you who burned them?

This isn’t a major national security story from the NYT, WSJ, or wapo, it’s a f’n Internet forum.

So damn sick of “my sources say”, “someone I trust”

Include a name ffs

Are you seriously this stupid? A third grader could figure out the logic here.

Burning sources is the first way to guarantee you don’t have any more sources

Because they don’t have sources.

Y'all are so frickin dumb.

If you name a source you lose a source, and your source loses their job.

Credibility comes from consistency, not ratting people out.

No one who actually has sources is going to anonymously burn them for internet clout from HailHailToMichigan! on the Tiger Rant.

The sauces know who they told the leak to.

It’s not hard from there for the sauce to make educated guesses to who is behind the screen name.

This plus you get roasted if you weren't 100% right. Those who actually are in the know understand that situation was changing every 30 minutes as more movers and shakers got involved.

Used to get mine from the barber, but lost all my hair, so I’ve been cut off.

everyone “knows” someone, but it’s like the layers of an onion, how close to the sauce is your sauce, I sometimes get tidbits of info passed to me and if I were to post them here that would instantly stop, it all eventually comes out

Well for starters no I don’t!! I’m over 60 and I don’t need a bunch of kids approval to begin with and I’ll never post someone’s name on a public forum because that will be the last time I get any INSIDER INFORMATION!

1. Most people are full of shite and have no sources

2. The few that actually do are going to protect the name of said source or it will not be a source anymore. Even though it’s anonymous, once a name gets attached to a statement, that person will not speak to anyone again. And that person will probably know who it was that spilled his name.

Probably the same reason you believe everything you read on twitter, even from unverified sources. Stop being a clown.
