One day he'll come up with something true and accurate, and no one will believe him because he's lost too much credibility. -- Tony Cooper - Orlando, Florida

Upon sober reflection, you mirror my thoughts. I picture enthusiastic Palin supporters in full regalia. (Shudder)

Problem with that scenario is I have quite a high public profile and as I post in newsgroups under my real name I can't afford to make things up or fantasise. There are enough people (including in this NG) who know me professionally in real life that, unlike some on this group who use pseudonyms and fake ID's, if I go away from the truth I would loose professional credibility. As it is my companies are going from strength to strength. -- \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ \/\/\/\/\ Chris Hills Staffs England /\/\/\/\/ \/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

This is your claim and you have been unable to support it. Many of those people who know you professionally, who have read this thread must be scratching their heads wondering if you have lost yours. You have made derisive remarks regarding the US Legal System. You tell us your opinion is based on "personal experience" and you provide no evidence of that experience. What you have stated is founded in anti-US, and anti-US armed services remarks based on hearsay, and media opinion. None of this details in anyway your "personal experience" with the US Legal System. The same applies to your remark regarding your "personal experience" of the dangers of cities "up and down California." If as you say you are posting in these newsgroups under your real name (and certainly some do) you have already demonstrated to any of your clients your ability to undermine your credibility, professional or otherwise. Naturally many who use ordinary sounding names in the newsgroups are also masking their identity as much, if not more effectively than those of us who choose to use a nym. There are many who have consistently used the same nym for years and who are well known in these newsgroups, some ID's real names are well known by many of the regulars. In my case I chose to use a nym because of my profession. As I get separated from that profession by retirement and time I will probably retire my nym as well, and use my real name, or maybe an ordinary name some may believe to be real. Having said that, there are some here who are aware of my real name, so that would be a bit silly. As for your credibility regarding your "personal experience" of the US Legal system, it appears to be damaged. Hearsay is not evidence. A well spun yarn would have been better. -- Regards, Savageduck |
