I mean that’s what you said, which just seemed the contradict what was said in the story, …

But it doesn't, though. The article says the details will likely emerge. Again, that doesn't mean announced or released by SAG-AFTRA. The writer of the article is not a spokesperson for SAG-AFTRA.

, so I mentioned that in the hope that you would elaborate on that, by either saying you’re incorrect, or that the story was incorrect for some reason.

Exactly, you're looking to win an argument. Neither what I said nor the article are incorrect. They are different statements.

Exactly, you’re looking to win an argument.

So you didn't quote the part where I said I was just looking for clarification, and not attacking.

I'm really not trying to argue with you, so please don't put intentions into my mouth that I didn't have.

Again, that doesn’t mean announced or released by SAG-AFTRA.

Does it mean it's not either. I'm making the assumption that they're going to announce days beforehand so their base knows what they're voting for.

The writer of the article is not a spokesperson for SAG-AFTRA.

Because writers never ask questions of spokespersons, either on or off the record, and get information that's accurate that they would put in their story, right?

I mean, this is really blowing all out of intention/proportion. I was just trying to find out if you were some kind of insider who knew what you were speaking about, to learn something new and different about the subject being discussed. I wasn't trying to publicly embarrass you, was just seeing that what you were saying was different than what the article was saying.

Edit: I just got the information I needed off of CNN, where they listed what was in the agreement.

Have a good day.

Why would I quote the part I'm not responding to? And it's not like your comment is hidden. It's right above my comment for anyone to see...

Does it mean it’s not either. I’m making the assumption that they’re going to announce days beforehand so their base knows what they’re voting for.

Yep, you're making assumptions. This is also not like an election. There's no 'base" to tell. The people that vote will be told what they need internally.

Because writers never ask questions of spokespersons, either on or off the record, and get information that’s accurate that they would put in their story, right?

Yes, they ask questions and the spokesperson tells them what they need/want to. And off the record wouldn't be published. What are you not understanding?

I was just trying to find out if you were some kind of insider who knew what you were speaking about, to learn something new and different about the subject being discussed. I wasn’t trying to publicly embarrass you, was just seeing that what you were saying was different than what the article was saying.

If you were trying to learn something new, you wouldn't be trying to prove people wrong with your comments. Come on, man.

You're not being intellectually honest, because your response was to negate mine.

And, CNN broadcasted today, days early, what I was asking about.

I stand by what I've said.

The context is literally right above, nothing's being hidden. What are you talking about? Also, and your initial post wasn't? Give me a break.

And, CNN broadcasted today, days early, what I was asking about.

SAG-AFTRA has still not put out an official public statement, only a statement to their members. The details came out despite this, exactly what I said.

EDIT: You know I can see you downvoting right? I didn't downvote any of your comments.
