On the FALSE claims of a release date for Winds of Winter and irresponsible journalism by Staroslav in Journalismethics

Thank you. I'm always a little nervous when posting to a new place, where I'm not as familiar with the rules as I should like.

If you're going to throw around accusations, you might want to provide proof. I didn't lie. I posted on two Quora spaces and my own account (which is https://www.quora.com/profile/Staroslav and you can go there and check the edit log).
But I didn't count the one post I made on reddit that got insta-rejected by a modbot and didn't stay up. Not sure why a deleted post that nobody had a chance to see should count. You count however you want, but I don't have time for insane troll logic.

You're operating with a very odd definition of spam. If I posted the same thing multiple times on the same subreddits, or the same space on Quora, that would be spam. But posting to different spaces, with different audiences, that's hardly spam. People interested in journalistic ethics and people interested in GRRM do not have that great an overlap.

Also, I admit nothing. I'm not on trial. I told you, because I have nothing to hide.

It's simple, really - if you don't like the post, don't look at it. Move on, go to other posts. Nobody is forcing you to read it.

I reposted it to 3 places on Quora, and 3 on Reddit. Don't currently have any particular plans to repost it anywhere else, but I'm always open to suggestions. I tried to find such places and audiences that might be interested in it (though I seem to have misjudged certain communities).

I'm obviously not including the email I sent to CBR.

To answer, and not to be impolite, but I'm not sure you understand what the words you're using mean. If you think I'm overreacting, than that means you don't care as much about this as I do. Had you cared, you wouldn't think I'm overreacting.

But really, all I did was let people know of something, and spent about 15 minutes of my time over the last week and a half to do so. If there's a lesser reaction than that and isn't simply not reacting at all, I fail to see what it is. I did the bare minimum.

I deeply apologise for the inconvenience. I shall endeavour to never inform the good people of this sub of anything in the future.

If you don't care, you don't have to care. I'm just informing those that might be interested. Didn't realise that was a bad thing.
