Nobody who brought the “rumours” to the table cancelled other discussion - they merely supplied what the current status was, what they heard, providing information for the discussion.
And while yes I exaggerated, clearly, it isn’t far from the truth.
If people don’t want to speculate on headliners, or talk on the supposed rumours, why don’t they just stay out of the thread until anything is announced? They are literally the only ones that whinge when otherwise conversation flows.
Once again the thread gets derailed by people being smug that a rumour, that was proved correct, isn’t panning out to the final poster.
