This is exactly what I meant about things being posted there instead of being posted on the forums. Everyone who reads that will get only one persons side of the story, and not be able to forum their opinion based on all the information.
The fact that large portions of information, which the writer in question knew and had at his disposal, was left out of that bit of "news" makes it even more malicious.

" As some of you may already know, EoA (End of Ages) and N-Pulse have recently merged together to form N-Pulse: End of Ages! "
-Fact; Not Biased at all
"Early in to the transformation, the current co-manager UM (Unknown Mirage) quit! it came as a shock to just about everyone related to N-Pulse."
-Fact; You quit, not much to argue there
"After UM had quit, Development on the server was still underway better than ever! I got a message from ETD asking if I would like a job. I accepted and we was all set to go!"
-Fact; I doubt anyone would disagree that development was going great, and that I hired !Wan.
"I, myself edited almost all of the southern part of the map. I will not be finishing what I had started. Y'see Moonie hired UM back as management!"
-Facts; !Wan did edit almost all of the southern part of the map (except the 3 levels you did), Moonie did rehire you as management.
Those were all facts. Then a little over half way through he switches to his personal opinion. The only false, or potentially bias reporting would be the part about him, myself and PD going on strike, since PD was not on at the time (though he was upset about the situation).
Just because the topic of an article isn't about something you like, doesn't mean that the whole thing is biased and false. Within the article it is clear to see where he transitions from fact to opinion, and I think anyone who reads it knows that that is the opinion of the auther, you can take it or leave it.
I'm not trying to argue about this, I am just pointing out that what he posted was about 1/2 fact, and 1/2 opinions. And by saying he posted 'biased opinions' is just redundant, since all opinions are biased.
And he left out info? It seemed like a pretty basic story to me. Do you expect him to write a book on the topic? And anyways, if anyone else wants to write an article on the same topic I bet Bef would accept it.
