Monty, you can kindly and publicly apologize to me in here. It’s a safe space.

Beck and her hubby have been shooting them. I’m sure they can hook you up.

Well, you could always use the OP…

It strikes me as somewhat unsporting to be shooting hotdogs.

Let me know. I’ll get you a nice one.
(A nice filthy feral hog, not a hotdog, You’ll have to see Gato about weenie dogs)

Not verbatim? Disingenuous horse-hockey?

Thanks. Make sure it’s warm, plentiful pillows, a crying area complete with tissues, and several virgins.

Why, so you can relive your days in the Boy Scouts?

No virgin would touch him.

No-one’s calling its obviously known definition into question and it’s also not addressing the fact that you’ve altered the meaning of what you transcribed by adding quotes to the statement, immediately nullifying it as being verbatim. Any journalist who’d approach that otherwise would be crossing the line from honest reportage.

Some convenience stores around here carry boar. Great garnished with hot club aspic (skittles in consomme gelatin in ghost pepper sauce).

I always thought prunes ruined a good boar.*

*ETA - hm, possible sig?

I’ve altered the meaning by placing quotation marks around a single sentence in a 2 sentence post?

And reporters don’t do exactly that literally ALL the time?

That’s some thick bullshit right there.

Sure, why not.

Um, dishonest ones? Care to cite any?

You’ve seen Annoyed’s first post, right? You can’t seriously believe he’s at all concerned about honest reportage.

Nope. Anyhoos, nodding off.
Out.

You mean the one I placed in the pit because it’s circumstantial and so shots can be fired more freely?

What a horrible, dishonest character I have.

Because it’s a pathetic cop-out for being intentionally wrong, and misrepresenting what someone said.

Well… yes.

Clever.

No one, in the history of forums, has ever thought to snip another users post in such a way as to remove contextual sarcasm in an attempt to be amusing - until you came along.

The second sentence in your post stands on its own. The first sentence didn’t provide context, just irrelevance.

And I don’t believe you care about honest reportage.

Hmm…how about - would it work if I re-quoted Gyrate’s post for you in hopes it will finally register with you?

That’s a good one! This is so much fun.

And speaking of wild boars, there was a papal bull issued back in the early 1500’s by Leo X I believe, titled “Exsurge Domine” * Arise Oh Lord and plead Thy cause, a wild boar has entered thy vineyard."* (It was against Martin Luther, btw)

I don’t acquaint the OP with Luther, but when it comes to bores, I mean boars…
