I'm not aware of any credible mainstream journalists who would print a story with only one side or source. There must be collaboration, either witnesses or documents or something - if nothing else to make sure the person coming to them is who they say they are.
That's not a condemnation of you, Ten. I've said that all blogs operate under different rules. But I still feel you are at risk here, should somehow Minnu exonerate herself. Sure, maybe that's a big "if", but it's still a risk because you've taken it upon yourself to be the standard bearer in the crusade. This is exactly why journalists double check their sources - it preserves their credibility.

I was, and am, forced to go along with one side, and it will continue to be one-sided unless Minnu decides that it would be a good idea to publish a rebuttle on SCD.

That would make you the arbiter of this issue, and I'd bet money that Minnu would rather deal directly with Danae.

Her lack of response, I will agree, is not reacting well with her "fan base".

I wouldn't know. It's hard to tell in that flamewar on your blog who is who since they can make up names.
Most SLers are like me - we know of Minnu, we've either bought a skin or at least picked up some demos. But my embargo of her store is entirely conditional on her being exonerated. Until then I'm not judging her, I'm merely protecting my own conscience.
