>It's not just that anons like sauce, it's that providing sauce is the only really ethical way to share info. Otherwise, it's just gossip.
Gossip or rumor. But yes, thank you, that is exactly what I meant.

I understand. But the problem is the source - is it a comment on HuffPoo? Is it from a personal email going around? Context means a lot, it helps us place things in a hierarchy of believeability, reliability, etc..

Keep in mind, the best lies contain some truth, the best disinfo contains some bit of truth and is designed to be somewhat credible.

Sometimes, it's not though - the OK symbol, the "pee dossier" - it is almost beyond belief that anyone would believe those disinfo ops.

You were offered a substitute word to clarify. You can accept that or not. You can focus on semantics or not. You can likewise choose to address the content of the response, or not. It doesn't matter to me either way.
