The Three Pasoti Backers

I think what matters here is who told SFD about Newell's backers. If people work that out they'll understand why the story has credibility.

So you've worked it out? Or you've been told?

Any chance?

How certain do you think I have been about this being true all the way back to since I first mentioned it?

I have always claimed that this is 100% accurate information and I still do because it was and still is - unless things have changed since then.

Why? Because my source for the information was and remains 24 carat reliable.

Is there anything better than 24 carat or 100%? I can't think of it. But if there is then that is how good the information is.

Believe it or deny it. That's entirely up to you; it remains absolutely the truth either way.

Ok I'll make it simpler....does Homeslice know who told you this info? Or has he 'worked it out for himself' and had it confirmed by you?

Is it all really so cloak and dagger that that simple question cannot be answered?

What difference does it make who or how many there are?

I'm not confirming or denying anything that other people have said.

Because Pasoti is supposed to be independent.

Well I just thought I'd ask as he doesn't seem to want to clarify what he said.

Apologies Czarky, wasn't a case of being reluctant, more a case of missing the question. 

I know what I've been told, and I know the source of that information and trust him 100%. So I haven't worked anything out, I'm going on what I've been told, and by whom. 

If anyone cared to put their mind to it though, it would be easy enough to at least come up with a shortlist of people who would know this information first hand and wouldn't be bothered if it got into the public domain. So I think we can rule out the Porkmeister.

Not that reluctant, I've just answered him.

You KNOW feck all.

You just believe what somebody has told you - with no proof -  and you believe it. In fact, you're not even sure what he was really saying...

Typical idiot.

It remains true no matter how vehemently you wish it was not.

You need to learn how to stop fabricating lies and how to start recognising the truth or else you're doomed to perpetually suffer a hellish existence that would make Hieronymous Bosch wince and which is there only to you because it is a creation with substance only in your own mind. You've got fact and fiction so badly mangled you don't know whether left is right or up is down anymore.

I truly pity you.

I pity your friendships.

One has to think... If your friends won't trust you with delicate information..

What does that say about how they think about you?

One day the penny will drop and you'll think "OMG how could I have been such a complete twat for so long?"

Until then you will retain what pity I can muster for how horribly deluded you are.

I have had a policy for over 30 years. If anyone prefaces their personal comments outside of agreed work boundaries etc, with "don't tell anyone else, but", like Iddesleigh used to imply or specifically state in his PMs, I tell them I don't want to know. It's a control mechanism that all people should reject.
It goes nowhere, but to the advantage of the storyteller.

Nobody did say "don't tell anyone else, but". I have decided not to grass up the person who told me. That's the only restriction here.

I know that frank, you've said it several times. but as I said, confidences can be a passive power issue. If you're ok with that, then fine.
Sorry you seem to have acquired a hectoring lune demanding blood. That's what happens.

As far as I can imagine, the only person who could be described as "100% accurate" or "24 carat" would be Dave Gadd. He is the one who sold Pasoti to Nool. Anyone else would only be 95% accurate or 23 carat.

It's a bit like the pasoti "link?" demand every time someone posts something that can't be proven instantly. Like if its not on the internet it can't be true. That SFD doesn't want to name whoever has given this info is to his credit, much of this thread has been attacking him for behaviour pasoti not whether or not what he has posted is true.

when you think about it, it all makes perfect sense.
