[QUOTE="mdisher, post: 631950, member: 2724"] With respect, this is fuckin stupid is what it is. Are they also prohibiting anyone from writing a book after the fact? Posting their account and memories? If you can't share the adventure then that takes a whole lot of the fun out of it. Most blogs are just that, personal logs, almost real time accounts. Skipping the publisher and all the BS in between. They are not necessarily media outlets, or newsworthy items. The are not direct interfaces with the press. I get that the media/press almost always screws it up and twists things. If there's details they don't want discussed publicly that makes sense, list what those are. That's the nature of the beast, and if they think for a minute that the media who is against the IBA and the IBR cares if there are no tweets, blogs or facebook status updates they'd be highly mistaken. So basically I'm not buying the media angle, I suspect it's still related to the aspect of team shenanigans... I can't wait to hear the official reason behind this. [/QUOTE]
