You didn't answer the question. Why were you deliberately deceptive
and try to make it appear that I said something I didn't? The
evidence is still there in the post I made, that you snipped all the
context out of.

Why'd you do that? What are you trying to prove? That you have no
integrity and will stoop as low as you need to in order to make a
point? Is that what you want to be seen as?


Are you kidding, or are you that dim ???? It's a common practice and
done every day. The slop I eliminated was pointless. The post was
merely a shot at your pomposity. Apparently it hit the mark eh ?

Wrong, again. I am well aware that trimming a post of "slop" is done
every day. That's not the issue here. Let me try to make this easier
to understand for you:

Here's the relevant portion of my post that we are talking about:

It is on MSNBC cable. Only on weeknights, and the lineup is
absolutely awesome. If you are a democrat it is THE channel to
watch.

True.
So much better than FOX!

Yes, it is. They tell it like it is.

Wow. *Completely* suckered in. Amazing.

OK. That line above, where I said "Wow..." was what I said to
*Evelyn*, in regard to *her* being completely suckered in by the
propaganda on MSNBC. Are you with me so far?

Now, what you posted, in it's *entirety* (snipping out everything but
what I'm pasting right here below) was:

Wow. *Completely* suckered in. Amazing.

It's bold of you to admit to the world that you were COMPLETELY
suckered in by the shrub and his criminal clan. Perhaps by now you've
learned a valuable lesson about trusting those phone conservatives ?

You tried to make it *appear* that I admitted to being suckered in,
*MYSELF*, and then threw in some cheap insults at Bush and
conservatives. You know damn well that my quote about being suckered
in was directed to Evelyn, regarding the MSNBC channel, and was no
"admission" on my part at all.

You deliberately twisted the context to make it appear that I said
something that I did NOT say.

Do you see now? Very unethical and very indicative of the kind of
person that you are. Deceitful and without integrity.

Do you have any argument against what I've said here? Can you deny any
of it? What say you?




I don't care what you say Dan, I happen to believe that MSNBC sees the
world and politics as close to my own as possibly can be. They are MY
voice.

I do listen to other news, but I admit that FOX is not on my roster of
news sources. That is because they are too prejudiced, too unrealistic
for the demographics of this country, and too divorced from reality. I
catch them in lies all the time. Even my husband, who was a devoted
FOX news junkie, realizes now how they lie.

But, that wasn't the point of what I said! I'm not arguing the merits of
any TV channels! I'm talking about how she *deliberately* altered the
context of my post to make it appear that I said something which I did
not.

Can you not understand that? Seriously, do you see what I'm saying?





People have done that to me, and I don't like it either.
I wasn't aware anyone had done that to your posts.

It happens. He has now made how many posts whining about
it? And we women are supposed to be the naggers:)

Grow a pair, Dan. It won't matter in the least some of your
words were missing. You can read them as often as you like
in the Google archives. Feel better now?


Good advice, but I doubt he will take it.
Posting on usenet is not for sissies or for the hypersensitive.
One needs to develop a thick skin, and a way of dealing with adversity.

Speaking of which, I notice Olly is back posting on soc.retirement.
I hope she has developed better coping skills since the last time.
