Still waiting to find out when I became a journalist. I’m going to demand Ed double my pay.
I do not think that word means what you think it means.
I mostly agree, altho his hand is not that heavy, all things considered. He has the one “mostly no BS” forum, and we post a plot of BS.
But he was absolutely correct here.
Right, and GQ is more or less “no politics”. Despite Sam having some truth to his statement, it was both inflammatory and political. It had no place in GQ.
Who died and gave you the right to change my quotes by adding emphasis (bolding) to words I did not bold? Please don’t change my quotes even one iota.
While it would have been better had silenus added a comment such as, “My bolding,” such modification of quotes is allowed.
Right after you became an artist. It’s the normal progression around here.
Don’t do it, Loach! I might be the only mod now around who has been a journalist. The pay’s better right here as a mod. Trust me.
I figure if I can get two mugs I can have Earl Grey in one and Irish Breakfast in the other.
I’m thinking more Irish Coffee, myself.
Request denied.
I’m a teatotaler.
I would have had no problem with it if he had written that the bolding was his. Without acknowledging the change, it is impermissible and severely intellectually dishonest to change the emphasis of a quote. Not as bad as being shot in the back eight times, but it is scummy and low and a crime against intellectual integrity.
Not nearly as low or slimy as calling a police shooting ‘summary execution’ or ‘facts’, since you don’t seem to know what either of those words/phrases means, but hell, if the Mods are good with what is obviously an wildly hyperbolic statement bordering on…well, never mind…at any rate, if they are good with it then there you go. Feel free to report the inappropriate bolding of ‘facts’ in your post to the Mods instead of whining about it. That’s what the ‘report post’ button is for, after all.
And the rest of us have no problem with you expressing your opinions or making requests. But declaring your opinions are facts and ordering people to obey your rules isn’t going to go over well.
I take care of my own problems pointing them out to the offender and letting him know what I think and wouldn’t waste my time using the ‘report post’ button.
Everyone just calm down. Most of this isn’t acceptable in ATMB. Any more and I’ll close the thread.
Well, good to see you take that you yourself and don’t bother the Mods, who are apparently fine with it. As JC wants everyone to calm down and back off, and since we wouldn’t want this great thread locked, I’ll bid you ado at this point.
I thought Samclem was one too.
Bullshit, did you not see the jump-edit at 4:20?
