1) It shows a complete lack of respect for their sources
2) It completely undermines the validity of their articles
Granted, #2 doesn't mean that their claims are necessarily false, but there's really no way of knowing upfront.

Over two years ago he was trying to hint at Batman coming to Linux, and...nothing happened.
Although this time he didn't post an article on it, only put it on twitter with "#Linux" tags.
We had the only confirmation, and yet the Phoronix article came out way after ours with confirmation and no source...
Such a lack of respect for his own readers, and for people like...us who actually get the confirmation.
It's so frustrating, but hey it's why we see so many people get annoyed by Phoronix now. I really wish he would source things, I mean what's so hard about it?
If I see a new gaming related article on Phoronix first, I immediately redirect my browser towards GamingOnLinux because nowadays that is my primary and sole source for Linux gaming related news. When I read other news on Phoronix I always double check the related forum thread for sources and correction. You simply can not read news on Phoronix without reading the forum as well. The comment section on GamingOnLinux is used more as a complementary than as place you "must" visit for validation; As it should be.
Even though Michael is far from impeccable, I still think both of you has made some pretty substantial contributions towards the Linux (gaming) community.
Keep up the good work, both of you!
