First off, she dosen't OWE fans of the show anything … ever, and the attempt to give her some kind of guilt trip is pretty poor.

He says .." In my opinion, credibility goes down hill faster than an Olympic skier if you can’t provide fact"

So what does that mean then ?   Since Donna was not prepared to tell all, they now have no choice but to believe that GH is telling the truth ?   … that she really didn't suspect anything funky in the editing  ?

SciFake is not going to get anyone to open up by attempting to use a crowbar on the first little cracks.

Doc,

Nosfer is absolutely correct.  No one here is saying that Donna owes anyone anything.  However, if you have something to say and can prove, say it and prove it or keep it shut.  Being coy and teasing does not serve anyone well in any situation.  It just proves you are coy.  It's then I suspect someone's motives.

Nope, but isn't that just what you are feeling ? … isn't that why people are upset ?  … don't people feel cheated ?  That she OWES you the full story since she gave you some hints of what it might be ?

.

Sure I'd like it if she came out swinging and opened up on them with all sorts of good dirt, but that's not ever gonna happen if the people that she thinks would be supportive of her start slamming her for not laying it all out at once.

Her motives could and should be what's best for her, and if she's created some buzz that may get her a book deal or a chushy position somewhere, I say good for her.

BrendaLee,

Thanks for posting Donna's comments.  I was posting at the same time so I didn't get a chance to read your post.  My responses were primarily in reference to Formerghfan link and previous statements.  I reserve my judgment on some of her comments but I will say, she is spot on with the damsel in distress description.  I never saw Donna as that type of figure.  Perhaps that became part of the Pilgrim GH mentality as it seems that is the direction they have taken and, from my perspective, it is quite belittling and annoying to watch.

If nothing else it got the   SkepticalViewer : Next Generation   , those who tuned in late and never heard of any controversy surrounding past TAPS members a little idea of what went, and may be still going on.

I'm waiting for the      Ghost Divas/ Skeptical Viewer    crossover podcast.

Oh no!  You had to go there Doctor!

Another "crossover"?!!!! 

Orion,

Hard on Donna?  Not exactly.

As far as people getting taken advantage of in their contracts, those are the ones who don't read what they sign.  They stupidly hire people to read and advise and allow themselves to be put up on a pedestal, surrounding themselves with "yes" men who rarely are out for the best interest of their boss but only their own paycheck.  It's like a shell game.  The more you insulate yourself in a celebrity world, the more you will find the money is draining away slowly but surely.

Recent case in point, Nicholas Cage.  Because he didn't use the two eyes given to him to read and review anything he now claims he's "broke".  No sympathy from me.  Intelligent people do not get scammed in contracts.  Intelligent people read what is before them and have the intelligence to put structures in place to avoid getting scammed in any business venture.

And sorry, peer pressure is a lousy excuse.  I wouldn't do the same thing.  Peer pressure may work while you are in school but not out in the real world.  Signing a contract is a serious business decision.  The same holds true if you are buying a house, a car, etc.  It's your responsibility to know what you sign and have the proper individuals advising you.  If not, it's your fault.
