    He managed to get a coauthorship with James Patterson, yet still can't find a decent publisher for his books? Any halfway decent author could have parlayed that into something better than what he has.

    Oh and you're right @Raoul the Red Shirt Dicky is specific. He specifically called out Midnight's Edge for supposedly using fake sources, yet can't produce proof of this.

    I have never once watched a Youtube commenter for reviews on movies etc and I feel like I'm a much better person than anyone who has :bailey:

    I have no real idea of the backstory on this, and don't think I have heard of Midnight's Edge before.

    That said, a Googling of Midnight's Edge fake sources pulled up these links:

    https://www.facebook.com/groups/Trek1701/posts/10155750914581053/

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=U3cdp3GUuNE&t=155s

    https://fanfilmfactor.com/2018/11/19/my-love-hate-relationship-with-midnights-edge-editorial/



    I haven't looked at any of these sources complaining about Midnight Edge's supposed fake news at all, and probably would not be in a position to know if they were right even if I did.

    But the point is that assuming Dicky truly didn't respond with specifics, that would seem to be more an indicator of laziness on his part since he would be spoiled for choice

    No, it's an indicator of Dicky being full of shit as usual.

    I can't remember the backstory either. I could swear I did provide links he probably ignored, but if I did slack off, I was probably in a "go Google for yourself, you lazy bastard" kind of mood.

    You made the accusation, it's up to you to provide the proof not me or ME.

    Provide the proof I didn't provide the proof.

    Speaking of, can you link to where Dicky made the accusation and you challenged him to prove it and he didn't?

    I know that the board's search function may not be optimized, but when I tried to use it, I couldn't find the conversation where he was asked to provide sources for allegations that this Midnight's Edge was spreading fake news.

    There's a couple links where he's talking about ME's reactions to an exec:

    http://wordforge.net/index.php?posts/3547695/

    http://wordforge.net/index.php?posts/3531121/



    Then there is this one where he's responding to Dayton back in 2019:​
    But I don't seem to see one where he's responding to FF and FF challenges him to show ME uses fake news and he fails to come up with any.

    I did find this FF response mentioning ME, which does not seem a ringing endorsement of ME's accuracy:

    I'll speak to that last one. ME has grown since those days and no longer consists of just one guy. The original creator of the channel is Andre cannot spell or pronounce his last name, but he's from Norway. Kurtzman Star Trek isn't anywhere on his radar and hasn't been in a long time. I'm thinking he's one of the many fans who left the franchise long ago because of the crap writing. So yeah, he's a bit bull headed. For all the shit I get here for daring to criticize NuTrek, I do acknowledge when I think there's a good episode. Some people on YT don't even bother with it. Robert Meyer Burnet will at least watch the episode. This should tell you something, but I doubt it will. As for other people who consist of his channel, I can't speak on that.

    OK...but how about speaking to the first one? Where did Dicky say that Midnight's Edge used false sources, was challenged by you, and failed to provide specifics?

    Ope, that's long enough.
    By the standards FF holds me to, he's failed forever, and his life is ruined, and he's not a human being anymore, and we all need to bring this moment up forever and ever until the end of time.

    Oh yeah, FF cried about being bad at debate, and I gave him that chart of fallacies and the Carl Sagan baloney detection kit.
    He ignored it.
    FF doesn't respond to information given.
    Then he waits for you to get sick of it to jump on when you give up on him.

    What a chessmaster. :rolleyes:

    You claimed that Midnight's Edge uses fake sources, I asked you to provide proof of that and you didn't. That's what this whole discussion is about and now you're doubling down on it. Provide the proof or retract your claim.

    Well I will give you credit for there actually having been a time when it happened. I guess it didn't come up in my search because I was only looking for things in Media Central.

    That said, the Google search I did above could easily have been done by either Dicky or you if here was any meaningful question about whether Midnight's Edge has just made up insider info.

    All you did here was link back to @Raoul the Red Shirt 's post. This isn't the proof you think it is.

    What level of proof are you looking for if multiple links and videos don't suffice?

    Midnight's Edge hanging from the ceiling by leather straps with 50 lashes across his back going "okay!! I lied!! I'm a fraud!! I'm a fraw-haw-hawwdd!! :sob:".

    No, that probably wouldn't even do it.

    It's not over because you haven't shown the fake sources that you claim they use. All you did was link to @Raoul the Red Shirt 's post which in itself is not proof and links to a video made six years about speculation about Star Trek Discovery. The guy in that video isn't even the owner of the channel. In fact I have no idea who he is. Probably no longer associated with them. You do this every time, you declare yourself the winner when you have in fact been shown that you are wrong.

    That still does not prove that they use fake sources. Maybe they just made a mistake. There was a lot of confusion then and remember Netflix did cancel Discovery because it wasn't doing well.
