Jonathan Jones is having a meltdown right now.

So how do you get the information so quickly if you're not stealing his or his colleagues tweets? Do you have teh l33t sources?

I don't even use him as a source.

 

The closest thing I've ever done is just mention something he probably said. Say JJ tweets "Panthers have signed dingleberg mcnuttking" and I tweet oh wow guys the Panthers just signed dingleberg mcnuttking, I'm stealing his tweets? Because he broke the news I literally cannot talk about that subject? Stealing his tweet would be me copying and pasting word for word what he said, which I would never do.

I think what concerns him and his colleagues is that you try to act as your own little news outlet. You follow most Charlotte sports reporters and seconds after they break news you go ahead and tweet it without giving any credit to where you got the information. They're just looking for a little love. Did Voth just break a huge signing? Instead of posting it like you're breaking the news, just put @blackandbluereview or per Bill Voth. It's really not that difficult.

Why don't you just say "JJ says blah blah blah blah"? Isn't that how twitter works? Mentions? Hashtags? Trending? Unsolicited sex robots? All that stuff.

Quite sure Jonathan Jones is panther related considering he covers the Panthers.

 

a thread about your twitter beef for "stealing" tweets from the Panthers beat writer has nothing to do with the team though

I don't even follow his colleagues, I don't follow Joe Person. I talk to Bill Voth all the time. if I directly use what someones said I retweet them and make sure to give credit to via blah blah blah.

I'd have to agree...Evidently he's concerned about his Twitter reputation and this ain't the place to cry about it. Seems like the word "meltdown" is a projection.

if you had been giving proper credit there wouldn't have been a thread about this...
