A word of advice for approaching unconfirmed rumors you want to believe: [View all]

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Store away.

Don't immediately proclaim them as truth. Don't throw them away. Store them away.

Just put them in an imaginary bag, hold onto it, don't make too much about it, and see how things ultimately turn out.

If it's confirmed you can have the satisfaction that you heard it first. If it's never confirmed, you can later quietly move it to the dustbin without having made a fool of yourself.

Store away, not throw away or shout about.

ON EDIT: Please note this is not an attack on Louise Mensch or Claude Taylor. This is not saying they are providing us false information. This is only to day they are giving us information that to date remains unverified and therefore we should take a wait and see attitude on it.
