It's not that I don't understand your viewpoint, but I feel that's putting too much responsibility on fatman when at the end of the day he's just another speculating fan like the rest of us.
I understand
your viewpoint, but if a someone on a different site were doing this, with a history of half-baked info, they probably wouldn't be given the time of day here anymore. At least not until they clarified a bit more. I guess it's just lucky for fatman that this thread still cuts him this much slack (though it's not surprising).
But, I mean, if people are ok with hearing the grand revelation of "Nintendo is doing something", for some reason get their hopes up for Geno, and then inevitably have those hopes dashed... or really, do anything other than say "let us know when you hear more", well there's some questionable thought process at play, but all the power to them.
I can understand getting worked up when there's something tangible to work with, or additional info, but this is actually nothing... we don't even know what the picture is. Me personally, I think getting the fanbase spinning its wheels over nothing is, even with the best intentions, a bit... arch.
Keep in mind, people were getting mad when Vergeben wouldn't even narrow down the Pokemon character.
