The settlement details states: "Settlement details: As reported by a major mainstream news source. "
So, when the date goes by and no news is reported, you'd think that this would be an easy settlement. Unless of course the category editor (ryanj) is heavily wagered on the outcome and stands to lose big if it settles as it should. The category editor decides to send an email to Donna Brazil to see if she would like to endorse Obama. This is not a Major Mainstream News Source. At best, it's an email from a dubious source from a category editor whom I've had repeatedly negative experiences.
I don't know how to resolve this problem. The new category editor (Destry) has passed the buck and is refusing to do anything about it and states that it is up to the old category editor (ryanj). I also suspect that he or she will be only more than eager to continue this disturbing pattern of simply voiding the question to escape controversy (which also avoids the nasty business of losing a lot of hub dub bucks).
The question was clear. The settlement details were clear. No reason for this to be left hanging. How does something like this get resolved?
