@wiredfire @killyourfm yes this journalist needs to be axed.
@phillycodehound @killyourfm And thrown into the Total Perspective Vortex!

@f4grx @wiredfire @killyourfm I'm not sure I could be that hardline in this case, but I am feeling conflicted. Gaaaaargh.
@shelldozer @wiredfire @killyourfm if Ars had rules as clear as described in the retractation, then this is a simple fuck around / find out kind of situation. Since the consequence is the credibility of a well established publication, I think that person should take full responsibility.
I do not expect Ars to do that. I'm not even sure that person will be scolded.

This needs to be shared on its own for visibility. It’s difficult to trust Ars Technica after this. I respect for publishing this but…
Frankly it’s getting increasingly difficult to trust any news source.
In the journalism world, fabricated quotes is an egregious offense.

@killyourfm I can’t trust anything I read online these days to be trustworthy or believable.
Living offline out in nature seems to be better for my health.
