Oh, please, all of you, especially to Ruth who launched this dialectic tiff – how inane it is for anyone to ‘give credit’ to other fansites when ALL this material is out there on the web or in the Fourth Estate. Credit is due to the ORIGINAL source, not to ‘who found what first’!!!

My heavens, ALL of the sites have contributors from ALL OVER this planet, so how ridiculous it is to think that one site is ‘first’ regarding anything.

All the fansites run photos, spread gossip, find and publish bits of information, use photo captions, without giving credit. It would be nigh impossible to control. But if any site has ANYTHING uncredited on their site, then ALL are wrong.

Copyright violation is rampant– so what don’t these sites understand about it? And often PERMISSION is needed to use the material. Perhaps best to study what COPYRIGHT material is all about, then give credit where it is DUE, which is certainly not someone’s ego chiding another’s with tongues stuck out like narky school mates!

First credit due: the article WRITER, the article PHOTOGRAPHER
if not available, then:
Second credit due: the magazine or publication that produced the material.
Third credit due: API– Reuters — iNewsWire — Gannett — PR Newswire — or other news wire services
Fourth credit due: The celebrity’s publicists, IF they would even bother!!

Finally: The more bickering over who did what ‘first’ is only going to fuel the fires of those fanatics who want INTERNET REGULATION — and then NOBODY will get to use anything without paying royalties.

Aww, I feel all warm and fuzzy now. Yeah, none of us have any patience for bitching and bullshit and retarded Team wars, because its all meant to be fun right? I find the negativity associated with the show completely appalling, i’ve never seen anything like it. So it is banned here and on the Bill Wiki. Plenty of other places to fight people online if you get off on that kind of thing.

Thanks SA for the positive feedback. It’s for people like you, who just want to have a “happy place” to go, that this news site and the “blue” wiki were created. We try to keep the negativity out and the pleasure of TB in. Of course, wallowing in everything Stephen never hurts.

Thanks S&A, I’m so happy that you found our little community. We intend to keep the warm vibes going against all odds. This is fun for us, and really I cannot understand all the weirdness out there in the TB universe, but it is one of the reasons we created this place and the blue wiki.

Thank you for hangin’ with us!

WOW – I just gotta say that I’ve been put off many threads because of the intensity of the negativie waves It is a TV show, and this group that includes “ZZ, CE, Aemac, Lividity, Tincar et. al” has been a really wonderful place to be. Sure we have an undisguised love for SM/Bill/Sookie which brings everyone together but there is IMHO a sincere desire to keep a perspective, to be respectful of each other and the actors’ lives. I do sincerely appreciate the spirit of that and having a place to come where my feelings can be shared in a healthy way. Thank you and please keep it so.

Great to hear that TC. I’ll quit whining about my own sorry eyesight, promise.

Yes, and to prove how painful scan can be to read we heard from some of our CHM True Blood fans and they can actually read the article. So, thanks again Maria.

What a great article! Loved the “Being apart physically hurts”, “smart and funny women” and “love at first site”. I wonder who he was talking about?

This man can give a brilliant interview with his eyes blindfolded! I am so glad he is so candid.

I have learned so much from this conversation. I wonder why there is so much hostility when we’re all here because of one TV show. A TV show!

I’m just happy someone transcribed this as personally, small scans wreak havoc on my eyeballs.

I’m with you CE, pervy questions rule!
