However, Johan would probably do a DOT and spout some gobbledegook about odd-looking pixels and displaying a shocking lack of knowledge of image compression formats.  Roll Eyes

Indeed, just look at my avatar.  It didn't look like that on the page I scraped it off.

It wouldn't bother me if the Coconut 'screenshots' were just cut'n'pasted text.  From what I've seen, Coconut has integrity.  She doesn't post made up shit.  If Johan wants to try to discredit her by saying she faked a screenshot then just stick to the facts and have the person who alledgedly had words put into their mouth come forward and deny it.  I've missed it if this has already happened, all I've seen is futile diversions.

DOT's faked screenshot comparisons look like the kind of posts you see on web developer forums saying "Why doesn't my webpage look the same in browser X and browser Y?"
The answer is that unless the person uses the same OS, browser, browser settings, fonts etc., then there will usually be subtle differences.
DOT can be forgiven for this misunderstanding as it appears she lacks logical thinking, wisdom, and is blinded like some teen groupie of a talentless pop band. (Is she really a 12?).  Johan, who it is rumoured has some technical knowledge, cannot.  Talking about faked pixels instead of faked words does fit well with the current smoke and mirrors campaign.

Faking a screenshot is fucking easy, and involves no clever photoshop pixel manipulation.  Notepad is all someone would need if they wanted to fake something, and it would look more convincing than anything touched up in a graphics editor.  However, you cannot fake the memories of the people that saw the page.  If Johan actually pointed to a screenie that was supposedly faked, then I suspect that more TSR people on the fence would see through a blatant lie.

A 'professional company' pointing to irrelevancies to draw attention away from the accusations of plaigiarism, incompetance and other illegal activities reminds me of the desperate tactics politicians use when they know they are at the end of their career.  So sure, TSR can throw some doubt around about the accuracy of the Coconut Blog if they like.  Without the 'professional company' public apologies, warnings of their database insecurities, and a place where concerned TSR fans can discus the allegations openly on the TSR forums, they will continue to stink.
