It's been my experience that when someone says

Yeah, I'm good with a link being to an outside source.

Now as an example in post #154 you quoted me, in italics like so: Null and void: "Translation: the tax payers will get stuck with the bill."

But then, typically, you attributed what I said to nicmarlo, and demanded that she defend my words that you put in her mouth.

But I didn't quote you. I copied what nic had posted. I had no idea that it was a quote from you. And I didn't demand she defend your quote, just the claim about the PDF letter.

I didn't even care about that portion, I was more interested in the claim "In the letter, Treasury agrees that the Fed can bill Treasury for any losses from the Bear Stearns deal".

Since nic is afraid to answer, maybe you'd tell us if you agree or disagree?

I also note that although you quoted me by screen name, you somehow neglected to ping me. I'm certain that this is an oversight on your part,

You're correct.

Did you ever find what you claimed I said up thread? I never saw a response to my post #124. Realize your mistake? Or just run away?

Ok....I relent.

Maybe a "small" amount of Ghirardelli.
(certainly not some ridiculous amount like...was it 20 pounds??? : )

You've used my name, again, and did not ping me. I was more interested in the claim "In the letter, Treasury agrees that the Fed can bill Treasury for any losses from the Bear Stearns deal". Not so. You appear to be MUCH more interested in making false accusations against me....it has become a pattern with you, to the point of obsession.

Since nic is afraid to answer, maybe you'd tell us if you agree or disagree? Yet another lie. You refuse to apologize for the lies you tell about me, you refuse to admit you have made a false claim (again) against me, and you refuse to answer questions posed to you.....instead, you respond with questions. Your behavior is contemptible

You are delusional if you think you deserve an answer concerning a statement that you FALSELY stated was "MY CLAIM," which sentence was properly formatted in BLOCKQUOTES, cited, sourced, and linked to, and WAS OBVIOUSLY A QUOTE, yet you continue to use it as part of your obsessive personal attacks against me.....

My screen name in it may have been a hint, but I can see how that could happen.

Agree or disagree with what?

Did you ever find what you claimed I said up thread? I never saw a response to my post #124. Realize your mistake? Or just run away?

Referring back to the original post (#90) I clearly said AND I QUOTE: "(Assuming, of course, that I understood what he was trying to say)."

Since you objected, clearly I didn't. I pretty much thought that ended it.

I'm not one to assert that someone said something they didn't, and then badger them into defending what they didn't say.

Usually freepers agree with articles or links they post, unless they specifically say they disagree. Some freepers post stuff and then won't agree or disagree. That would be you. LOL!

yet you continue to use it as part of your obsessive personal attacks against me.....

Geez, take a Midol already.

But I never saw you say it. I wouldn't want to get in trouble for quoting you second hand.

"In the letter, Treasury agrees that the Fed can bill Treasury for any losses from the Bear Stearns deal".

"(Assuming, of course, that I understood what he was trying to say)."

You need to be more specific. You said the above in response to a post with 6 separate points. It's possible I agreed with some or all, but didn't know which one (or ones) you were talking about.

Never did. I thought they quit making it when I was still in knee pants.

I note that you avoided an actual answer, and replied with a snide question.

Sorry, when another poster jumps in like that, I sometimes think I'm responding to the first.

Yes, I did.

Usually freepers agree with articles or links they post, unless they specifically say they disagree.

Provide statistical support to prove your assertion that people who post articles: 1) agree with EVERY SINGLE SENTENCE/IDEA/INTENTION within the article or the entire article they post, unless otherwise stated; or 2) "usually" post articles they agree with unless they specifically say they do not (FOFLMAO). Perhaps .gov drones keep this kind of "statistical" information to support their CLAIMS. Yes...YOU just made a CLAIM. Please support it with something beyond YOUR OPINION.

However, that was not the point you were even attempting to make initially. That was only made AFTER you were caught in yet another lie against me and your attempt to deflect from your most recent gaff. The issue is--beyond AGREEING or DISAGREEING with what ANY article states--that you stated a quotation was MY OWN CLAIM.

PROVIDE EVIDENCE that the posting of an article TRANSFERS OWNERSHIP of ANY sentence, wording, phrasing, or idea within the article, TO the person who posted said article. That was what YOU stated: a "quotation of another author" became "my claim."

I have absolutely no doubt that upon production of your "proof" concerning such transfers of ownership, theNew York Times, the Los Angeles Times, certain judges, and even JR would be most interested in your NEW definition and interpretation of PLAGIARISM.

BTW, the person who needs meds ain't me.

No.

So, are you ever going to admit you agreed with the claim? LOL!
