Oh Jesus christ. You're right, I didn't eta that one, but I did "@" you to call your attention to the edit specifically by making it ping on your alerts. That's actually better than an eta, because it specifically calls your attention to a post that has been moved on from.
Regarding your weird conspiracy theory, I was simply still searching for the story for a while and coming up with nothing, so I "@"ed you to call your attention to the change. I probably should have eta'ed it too but I didn't see the point after only a few minutes. You're right though, I didn't eta it specifically for what might have been the first time in my posting history.
Still trying to defend your unsourced tweety by using foreign language sources that don't appear on this *news flash* English speaking formula and search engines?
That the translations are so clumsy is reason enough to doubt the accuracy. Do you have to be lectured again about this forum's posting langusge?
I don't look at these alerts. Never have. Didn't see your dishonest edit, which was made after the reply you later criticised for not addressing the edited post.
I'm not defending anything. I don't have to. The tweet was absolutely on the level and the sources were easy to find. Criticising these sources for being in Swedish, when the incident happened in Sweden, is preposterous. You're down through the bottom of the barrel and scraping the dirt now.
Oh look, getting into bedrock. You offered to re-explain something in my native language, and when I replied in Gaelic you made no attempt to do so. I strung you along for a bit. Now you're complaining that I didn't initially post something in Swedish. I didn't even need to use Google translate to see what these articles were saying though, it was bloody obvious. (OK to be fair, Swedish is to some extent cognate with Scots, which I also speak, e.g. kvinna/quine for woman.)
If the best you have is that Google translate sometimes offers up infelicitous sentences (though in my experience this is much less common than it used to be) therefore you can go on complaining that the newspaper and TV websites are inaccurate and may be dismissed, you're done here.
Proper investigation remains your sole burden, not mine. And for every story shown, there's another with a different variation. Piss poor citations at best.
