To be fair they should have made it clear in that first post rather than later but the point being made was that a huge percentage of all the rumours over the past year originated in the same place and from the same person; a person with a well documented history of making shit up.
Actually, it makes both Moffat and Eccleston look like completely unreasonable jerks. Yeah, I know, Joe Ahearne is Eccleston's favourite director from season 1, a fact well documented, and indeed Eccleston did say something along the lines of he'd return for the 100th anniversary were it to be directed by Ahearne, but I don't think Ahearne's involvement in Day of the Doctor was the sole condition of Eccleston agreeing to it, nor would Moffat instantly turn Eccleston away upon hearing such a request.
http://doctorwhoworldwide.com/2014/09/14/phil-morris-continues-attack-doctor-claims-jimmy-savile-comes-mind/ All I can say at this point is DAMN... That, and I think we can safely say he's done searching. He, like the Doctor this last episode, clearly has too much free time on his hands these days.
I'm part of the Missing Episodes Group on Facebook and recently they made rules to prevent posts from anybody to be reproduced on news sites without express permission from admins. I doubt these guys had permission to reprint this.
The irony is that Group was started by people who quit GB because of it's opressive posting policies. If they don't want the world to know what a loon Morris is, they probably shouldn't give him a platform to rant from... EDIT: He's threatening DWWW with legal action for making up stories despite them being reproduced word-for-word from his own postings. I do worry that in the increasingly unlikely event that he has any more episodes (really has them, I mean, as opposed to having just halucinated that he had them) he will eventually end up throwing them on a bonfire or maybe just eating them.
Now thats just great. A loony who allegedly has almost all of the missing episodes, has started going totally berserk, and now, the possibility that he'll never hand over the stuff. Brilliant. I can't believe I keep saying this, but Levine was right. What kind of a world do we live in?
If (if) he has any missing episodes, it lookslike there's bugger all chance of getting them off him anyway...
The guy is clearly fucked in the head. What was the thing about women writers - was he complaining about their presence or absence? Cos, honestly, from that paragraph I couldn't fucking tell. I guess we're seeing professional suicide here. Nobody's going to hire such a psycho again.
Tom Spilbury, of all people, has been less than complementary about Morris on Ian Levine's Facebook page. Which would seem to imply that DWM isn't expecting to be interviewing him about how he recovered almost every remaining missing episode anytime soon.
From Tom Spilsbury to Ian Levine: "I do agree with you, Ian, that it's extremely sad that this whole situation has caused so much in-fighting and squabbling on all sides. From my perspective, at the root of all this, one particular person is ultimately responsible for all this unpleasantness. It does seem, however, that people may be starting to collectively realise this, and are coming to the same conclusions. I don't mean to sound cheesy, but it's time that Doctor Who fandom reunited, we all started being nice to each other again, and simply ignored this person, as I think he revels in all the chaos and arguments he causes. Whether any missing episodes have actually been found or not, I really don't know. I'd like to think so, but I have severe doubts now. But that's just my opinion – I'm just another fan who would love to see the old episodes. Regardless, I think we're all sick of having our string pulled, and it's time we cut them. If nothing else, we need to stop torturing ourselves." Let's be clear about one thing though; he's not just "another fan", he's someone who has to be very cognisant of how Cardiff would feel about any major comments he might make.
A couple of posters have said they're starting to wonder if this latest set of meltdowns by Morris indicates Levine may have been right. I'm not sure about that indication, but, it certainly indicates Morris is just as prone as insanity as Levine
