Its a not to clever method to drive traffic: start a rumor, let it fester then say its all better now with the groundswell of support.

I’m really baffled by all the posts that seem to be focusing on this guy’s generally negative track record and ignoring the fact that the bread rumour wasn’t baseless. Rather than get hung up on the source of the rumour, can’t we discuss the rumour itself?

You’re very quick to dismiss the track record of unscrupulous. Based on contradicting posts in this thread it is still inconclusive about whether there was any merit at all to the original claim.

His track record is irrelevant to me if people unrelated to that site are reporting the same thing, which they are—including in this very thread. The rumour never claimed that all restaurants were affected anyway, so it's no wonder that different people are reporting different things depending on where they ate.

Let me make clear that I'm a self-confessed Pixie Duster and habitual defender of Disney, so my natural tendency is to be sceptical of such rumours rather than accept them. I'm happy enough to disregard the claims of that particular website and its owner, but not of posters in other forums, among them our own.

his reputation should be key, because his has been destroyed. Very curious that you have gone out of your way, for a person that doesn’t view his site or know anything about him to overlook or ignore his awful track record And stick up for him. Further there have been posters on this thread who have directly contradicted what was reported by CoreLESS. Further, while I’m not entirely sure about the twitter claim that he is Jessica Figueroa, it would not surprise me at all.

Why should @Chomama be considered unreliable?

I'm not saying they are? but what about directly contradicting posts?

I have a friend who ate at Coral Reef the same day this rumor started and she said they were served bread not only at coral reef but also at all their table service restaurants including Mama Melrose's.

What about blogs like DFB that made no mention at all about this?

The story just doesn't add up.

I’ve done neither of these things, let alone gone out of my way to do them.

Thanks for sharing this. Perhaps we should all be grateful to the other site for starting this "rumour" and potentially embarrassing Disney into changing its mind.

Tom's MO is to do exactly that, embellish something up that could be believable and blow it way out of proportion to get a reaction. Disney rank and file CM loath CoreLESS because he is inherently dishonest and represents the worst of fan journalism. He is a toxic element that basically ruins it for everyone.

So yes it could be possible that people weren't served bread on that day, but it may not have been as sinister as TOM made it out to be, maybe the industrial bakery was down for maintenance? A bread truck broke down? Who knows. So yes people may not have been served bread. We all know you can never get a straight answer regarding a non-normal situation from Disney.

This is exactly the same thing he did the same thing with his "scoops" for The Seas, The Land, CBJR, JC, etc. He's earned the nickname Unscrupulous, and if it's true that he is Jessica Figueroa, that brings together a whole new level of bizarre.

I don't get that part. He's a real person that people have met. Jessica posts on his blog just like he posts on his blog.

Is the point saying he is Jessica that he doesn't do anything for the blog and when it is done under his name it is Jessica that's ghost writing as him?

It actually makes a lot of sense. Most of the stories that “Jesica” writes are filler pieces about cupcakes and merchandise and other non important filler news. Tom writes on the big stuff and breaks “news”. Use a pen name to get the mundane filler stuff out, and use your name for the “important” news.

All of his fans should demand a Tom and Jessica local meet-'n'-greet.
