No.

You're just the messenger.

I have my doubts about the message, though.

Are you capable of reading an entire post without getting hopelessly distracted by your own puerile obsession with one-upmanship?

Apparently not, as we shall see.

So ... what ESL course did you graduate from?

Let's go over what I originally said, this time using simple English words that perhaps even you can understand:

Note that I never said five seconds of Googling, or even 15, would provide the names of the girls or the school. I said it would answer the question of whether or not the story was legitimate.

You keep insisting that you "smell a rat," but y'know what? When it comes to credibility, if it's a choice between your sense of smell versus the New York Times, Time magazine, USA Today et al., I'm afraid you and your nose come in a distant second.

Well of course my links don't say why their names were not disclosed. I never promised that they would.

Here's what I actually said:

And the reason the girls' names were not readily available from any online media source is because -- wait for it! -- their names were never disclosed to the media in the first place.

I covered that one, too. Get your yellow notepad and No. 2 pencil ready, because here comes my answer for the second time:

And here's an unadvertised bonus: The same rule applies to using geographic information pertaining to children. As the Online News Association puts it:
"If it doesn’t compromise the story, consider leaving out the name of a young person’s school, where he works or the specific suburb where he lives." --

Class dismissed!

Smell what you like. The bottom line is, who besides you thinks your demands for personal information about the girls are even reasonable?

That's not how the media works with regard to sensitive stories about minor children. But of course, you wouldn't know that, having no more inside knowledge of journalism than a drunk in the bleachers has about football.

So feel free to complain to the New York Times, Time magazine or USA Today, and be sure to let us know how seriously they take your request.

I've made no demands.

You're becoming hysterical.

Luckily for Switzerland then that it's not in the EU.

Deportation is the answer. The law-breaker and her entire extended family.

Fines and jail-time does nothing to remove these dysfunctional religious maniacs from Western countries.

Well, here's a twist on that theme : While being described as 'animals' by the German judge, Muslim sex attackers have nevertheless gone skipping merrily away from the court in a mood of happy jubilation upon learning that Western justice is sensitive to multicultural diversity.
