[Seeking the truth]

You ar enot being completely honest -- there was at least one journalist who appraoched you wearing his identification and who informed you, as he purchased the bumperstickers, that they were indeed offensive

Absolutely, not true.

If you are the guy who bought the two bumper stickers from me, you were wearing two badges with lanyards.

Both badges were turned with the name/information inside out - meaning I could not see who you were.

Furthermore, this "journalist" (I could not know you were a journalist as you had your ID badges backward), did not offer the opinion until I asked you two questions:
1. Do you mind if I asked you a personal question? You answered "Yes"
2. Do you find these bumper stickers offensive? You answered "Yes, I do. I am very offended" ( close paraphrase)

You then stomped away without continuing the conversation.

Get your facts straight and re-read the Journalist's Code of Ethics.

BTW, I reconized this "journalist" but could not immediately place him.

OK, Journalist Honesty Check Time...

Were you that journalist?

...Journalist's Code of Ethics.

Is there such a thing? Got to be on the All-Time oxymoron list.

Well, Gene - I've met you, and I know that you are an honest, concerned citizen.

I've probably read pieces by this "journalist" and formed a completely different opinion of his "journalism".
