At the time, I felt that the sources were unnecessary. In many of the communities I am involved in those sources are frequently posted and discussed, and a statement such as the one I made is able to stand on its own. Posting sources would have felt like an attempt to hijack the discussion to steer it towards a specific industry's problems, rather than focusing on Gawker and Kotaku's association with the parent article's reported moral failings. Given the amount of discussion following my comment I can see that the topic is important or interesting enough to merit posting the sources, however I am currently away from my personal computer where I have access to the communities and resources to be able to provide those sources. If you are truly interested in the subject, later this evening I will post another reply to this comment with sources and articles.
