Letsrun getting ripped on dyestat right now but a few dyestat regulars(Steveu and runsaints). I don\'t always agree with letsrun but this is a little odd to me. Is Letsrun.com the black sheep of running sites? To me it\'s the best place for info. Here is what\'s been said:
Steveu:
The \"author\"\'s words on a message board are hardly substantiated claims. Show us published or legal proof and MAYBE it\'s a different story. But a message board that has any clue about responsibility really should not allow that kind of thing to go on.
Why don\'t some of you guys go to a newspaper and magazine, with your allegations. I\'m not being sarcastic. If there\'s someone there who cares enough to do the legwork and see what sticks, and THEN publish it, then it\'s something that perhaps can be legitimately retained on this message board.
Otherwise it\'s just someone saying they \"know\" something. How can we believe that?
You can peddle it on letsrun.com ... not to knock them, but they don\'t care that much about that kind of thing; they probably won\'t delete it. If THEY delete it, then you REALLY know you should be getting more credibility before you fire off this stuff.
runsaints:
You want it to stay here? Legitimize your claims:
- who are you?
- who is your \"source?\"
- when and where, exactly, did you (or somebody else) witness the transgressions?
Until you can back up what you say, it\'s just another rumor. John Dye has decided he doesn\'t want unsubstantiated allegations of drug use on his boards. It\'s his business. It\'s been said before: if you don\'t like the way things are run here, go elsewhere. As steveu said, letsrun is irresponsible enough to let you publish this stuff (and even promote it on their homepage), so stick to their boards with it unless you\'re willing to back it up with real evidence.
