Seriously.. you're REALLY gonna pull an underhanded move like MISQUOTING someone????

I don't have a dog in this "fight", but it irks me to now end when someone wants to act holier than thou and prove their point by MISQUOTING another...

You left out ONE VERY important word that the OP used.. "Apparently".... just like when "officials" use the word "allegedly"

If you want to throw stones at someone and use their "quotes" against them, why don't you try being honest and complete when you do it instead of exposing yourself for a liar with your own agenda.

One word added or omitted can make for huge consequences in many arenas.
LOL, what's wrong, couldn't sleep?

ap·par·ent (-prnt, -pâr-)
adj.
1. Readily seen; visible.
2. Readily understood; clear or obvious.

Sounds to me like an assumption of conviction.

Nice bit of EDITING. APPARENTLY you didn't copy and paste THE WHOLE piece from the SAME link I found... At least you didn' edit and misquote a person directly like that other character..

Look at #3..

[SIZE=3]ap·par·ent[/SIZE] (-prnt, -pâr-)
adj. 1. Readily seen; visible.
2. Readily understood; clear or obvious.
3. Appearing as such but not necessarily so; seeming: an apparent advantage.


All I'm saying is that the OP actually never did say that she "did" it or was "convicted". Sure if you read it quickly it may SEEM to some otherwise, but if read correctly, that is never said. Then someone else (yankeekid) purposely misquoted the OP, which is straight up lying AND misdirection. Not ALLEGED or APPARENTLY, but ACTUALLY an outright lie.

Thank you. I was going to give the link to Dictionary.com but didn't feel like fueling their fire.

Also, that poster may want to look up the difference between "apparent" and "alleged".

ANOTHER misquote of the OP.. They said "apparentLY". And "apparently" being used there DOES NOT IMPLY that the defendent in question IS or HAS BEEN CONVICTED, like you in fact stated that the OP claimed.

If you quote dictionary.com WHOLEY, and not just partially to reiterate your LYING post and point it's easy to see that. ie definition # 3 ..

WTNH will only call this a "personal matter"...

Any idea how much a traffic reporter makes annually in Connecticut??? I believe she also hosted a morning show on WTNH.
Good...I wish nothing but the worst for LIN Communications with the way they have tried to annex southern CT as part of greater Boston through their blatant propoganda.

I will not watch WTNH for this reason alone.

I guess you couldn't sleep again. I'm actually laughing at how ridiculous you sound.

1. Blatant propaganda? Um... ok?

2. The behavior of one of their employees certainly would not affect the entire company operation, or even the station, much at all. She can be easily replaced.

3. Channel 8 is based in New Haven yes, but it serves the entire state of Connecticut and not just the New Haven area. Do keep this in mind.

4. LIN has no properties in Boston, the closest being Springfield or Providence. Much of their territory is in the Midwest.

Wow aren't you a defensive one. Maybe you should read your own writing

Here is what YOU wrote that sparked MY repsonse:

Quote:

Geesh, a little defensive here?

I am not going to argue your use of the word "apparently" because two out the three meanings listed lean toward what I perceive is your bias here in the issue. If you meant "allegedly" you would have written it. Spin it all you want, but your meaning seems clear to me that you think she was stealing the items.

Your post seems to be an attack upon the person accused here because you began by calling it "amusing" meaning to laugh at her actions..Did you mean she was funny like a clown? Amusing like a joke? It seems somewhat clear to me you were trying to mock her for getting caught stealing.

I see that as the "intent" so I don't think you were giving her the benefit of the doubt, and therefore understand your meaning as falling into the first two meanings of "apparently" in the context of your response..

And your "rude" response, well that speaks for itself. This is why I think you are being prejudicial to the defendant. If I were a lawyer, and you were in the jury pool, I would challenege your right to sit to hear the case based upon what you wrote and the seemingly biased intentions behind the post.

You're welcome..
