The pattern continues.

Every time a blue sentence starts with "So yes" or "So no" you are guarenteed that the conclusion to follow is a study in applied stupidity.

It's kind of like watching Johnny Cochran try to make a closing argument while on acid - he knows where he's supposed to be going, but can't manage to string together the chain of thought that will take him there. And you get this long stream of semi-lucid nonsense, finishing up with "So there! I'm right and you're wrong!"

Tired of the repeated bleatings, I posted a series that directly addressed the claims (detailed above) denying that quotes had ever been misrepresented, and that never had it been demonstrated otherwise:

True to form, the only response was this:


"A key clue -- with the Web we're all journalists. We all have a credibility account, which we protect by playing-straight and piss-away through dishonesty. What's the Web mean, and do, for this equation? It gives hope to new entrants -- the cost of entry is no longer ink by the barrel, just readers by the score. But it doesn't change the basic equation. Nor will it. Credibility remains the coin of the realm." Dana Blankenhorn, 1997
