I didn't want to blame WPM— and I still don't. However, I decided that what I heard from WPM was not concrete enough to end SOVA.

WPM was furious upon hearing about this. He accused me of slandering his Web site when I did no such thing, and declared that I was clinging to false hopes since what he had given me was infallible truth. He demanded I put an end to SOVA, claiming I was causing trouble by continuing it onwards. His goals became very clear— for some reason, he was seeing shutting down SOVA as an equivalent of keeping his Web site reputation in tact, simply because I had doubts about what I had heard. The conflict was only resolved by WPM being banned on [[bp:Bulbagarden forums|Bulbagarden forums]] for a period of time.

And now we come to recent events, in which two paragraphs in his article— which he again claims to be infallible truth —have spread like wildfire. In these paragraphs, he does not say that he heard any of this from one source— rather, that he heard several things from several very different sources, and this is what he has concluded must be the truth. This implies assumption. And as past events have shown, we know where WPM's bias lies.
