Elizabeth Smart Thread, 9/17/02 to ???

[Utah Girl]

Just thought I would start a new thread.

[freedox]

Your post contains six "maybes"......four in the first paragraph alone. A pile of "maybes" isn't enough to make me stop questioning something that I find implausible.

[scaredkat]

It looks like we have had another rotation here. Do you guys rotate every 21/2 weeks to a month or what? Oh never mind, I'm catching on way to well. I'll figure the rotation out myself.

[Devil_Anse]

Nonsense. I was very careful to avoid accusing freedox of anything. And "again" was referring to a recurrence of the boring, derogatory remarks that take up whole pages of these threads at times--and the recurrence would not be freedox's fault, it would be that of some others who might have seen something implied in the words "institutions needing to be protected."

The fact is, I wanted to make the point I made.

I don't see you apologizing to Sandude for dismissing his posts as "diatribes with yourself."

[Devil_Anse]

Why shouldn't I use the word "maybe" for things which are uncertain? Would you rather I tried to force my opinions and speculations down your throat as though they were facts?

While you're on the subject of overuse of words, you might say a word to Varina about using the phrase, "I never said..."

[Neenah]

four in the first paragraph alone.

You are just moonlighting as " JEN " !!!!

[Devil_Anse]

And haven't you ever heard of parallel structure?

[Devil_Anse]

About Lois being reinterviewed, Neenah first put that info on the thread, it was from the Court TV forum, and later we saw articles about it, including Utah Girl's.

[varina davis]

Why don't we talk about the cover-up???

LOL!!!

This thread is a big masquerade, Scaredkat. You are right to be scared!

"Why shouldn't I use the word "maybe" for things which are uncertain? Would you rather I tried to force my opinions and speculations down your throat as though they were facts?"

I have nothing against the word "maybe"......when speaking in terms of speculations and opinions, it is appropriate. That is my point......."maybes" are not facts, and they don't serve to resolve my doubts.

Thanks for the info, Devil. Hard to keep track of everything.

[freedox]

"And haven't you ever heard of parallel structure?"

Explain it to me.

[Devil_Anse]

Why don't we talk about the cover-up???

The cover-up as to which posters have more than one posting identity, or the cover-up which you seem to insist is going on at SLCPD?

[varina davis]

And haven't you ever heard of parallel structure?

Have you ever heard of Jerry Todd and the Bob-Tailed Elephant?

[lakey]

Because you had no proof of Ricci's guilt, h.a.

[Devil_Anse]

Explain it to me.

Just study this phrase: "of the people, by the people, and for the people."

I suppose you'd complain about Martin Luther King saying "I have a dream" too much, too.

I'll explain further when Varina explains that "change in syntax" thing.

[varina davis]

The cover-up as to which posters have more than one posting identity, or the cover-up which you seem to insist is going on at SLCPD?

I NEVER SAID that. No cover-up at SLCPD. Cover-up by the Smarts. We all know there are posters with dual identities -- JG, sherlock, more of that ilk.

[Devil_Anse]

Because you had no proof of Ricci's guilt, h.a.

Remember, Lakey, we have no proof of anything except that Elizabeth is not at her home. (Why we are thought to have proof of that, I don't know. We need David Westerfield to go round and peek in the Smarts' windows, just to be sure she's not in there.)

[lakey]

Right! An armed man sounds like an afterthought...to persuade the police & media...

[varina davis]

I'll explain further when Varina explains that "change in syntax" thing.

It didn't sound like the usual sherlock -- who often doesn't sound like the usual sherlock.
