--Honeybee, I did not express my opinion of you in any posts. My opinion of you has not changed since we met in Las Vegas.
<<You assert that I had no right to use quotes for the word "volatile" to show that Brinker used the word repeatedly, while at the same time you INVENT words, put quotes around them and attribute them to me. Revolting behavior for someone who knows journalistic protocol, IMO.>>
--Honeybee, I did not say you had "no right" to use quotes around the word "volatile." Obviously, you have every right to do so.
What I did say is that is was INCORRECT to put the quotes there for the reason you gave. By putting quotes around the word in the context you used the word would indicate that you personally believed "volatile" was the wrong word to use in that particular paragraph.
<<Again, you've been caught fabricating words and attributing them to me and your only defense is to attack me personally, accusing me of "fooling" people with what I write.>>
--That was NOT a personal attack! It was a comment on your propaganda tactics.
As for me "fabricating words," that is what is known as "journalistic license." As long as my words accurately portrayed your quotes, it is not journalistically incorrect to use them.
IOW, if someone hems and haws about the market for 5 minutes on CNBC, and most of it is negative, but he doesn't really say exactly what he thinks the market is going to do...
Then, it is journalistically OK for someone to say: "He said the market is going down."
That would NOT be classified as "fabricating words." It would be classified as neatly summing up what he actually said, which is what I did with your words.
<<Anyone who is interested in reading what my points actually were in those PARSED and out of context quotes, can find me with a simple Google search or send me PM.>>
--Right. I agree. Everyone should read all your recent quotes and then decide for themselves whether I was correct in my analysis. |
