Well was ML actually attacked.


Is he right to complain about bad language when he has used the B word on his own site.


Apparently he has stated the DM article has factual inaccuracies...as does MSE??

    I don't know. I wasn't there and haven't seen any evidence. Have you seen anything to question his account of things?

    Yes, why not? It is alleged that an unnamed party used abusive language toward him while physically assaulting him. It is reasonable to complain about that. Who did he use the "B" word toward? That person would also have reason to make a complaint.

    The DM article does state some strange things. I believe it said that Mr Lewis was catching a train to film a man. A most peculiar pass time, although I'm not one to judge what people enjoy doing. The DM article does change the context of Mr Lewis' own statement on Facebook.

    I'm not sure what MSE has to do with the Daily Mail. Is it okay for the DM to have inaccuracies if MSE does? If MSE removes all inaccuracies, must the DM?

    ML the founder of MSE is complaining about inaccuracies in a DM article yet continues to ignore inaccuracies on the MSE?

    Are you suggesting MSE is prone to salacious journalism? ;)
