Instead of providing those two items , which I feel were not exactly asking the moon. He proceeded to come onto the boards and simply dribble on about how he had access to all the cool new tech and how we were jealous of that etc etc etc. IMHO he brought any hostility upon himself.
In the 20 pages of hostility I read through before I made this post, he had not yet come onto the boards. The next 26 pages, that I have read since, were not quite as hostile as before and it became a less ridiculous thread, really. A bit of kissing ***, of course, but more on point.

A great few of you guys keep churning over how he won't tell reveal his inside contacts. Well, come on! Do you really expect him to stop protecting his sources just because you ask the same thing over and over again? He said it once, then a dozen times more, at what point are you going to accept the fact that you will not get an answer however many times you ask?

A journalist, any journalist, that is protecting his sources, will keep protecting his sources nomatter how many times you ask him. This is not rocket science. This is simple journalistic rule of thumb, and if Eldar breaks this confidence, he will not be able to keep doing what he's doing for very long.
