The reply to your post merely stated: "If you're going to post "news", always cite your source. Otherwise you're just starting a rumor."
Sounds a bit more like a suggestion for best practice than "criticism". Was your uncited claim deleted? No, it was not. That would indicate that it didn't violate a Golden Rule. If you post some "fact", one would presume that you got it from somewhere. Is it that hard to post something about where you heard it????
Doesn't sound like a suggestion to me. The "rumor" the moderator was complaining about, that Forsett would be re-signing, was all over the internet this morning. Would you want the person posting the "rumor" to cite hundreds of sources. No, i didn't think so. Nuff said.
