"Infiltrating" organizations with questionable labor practices is a legitimate journalistic practice. In the above-mentioned case I received plenty of info without having to go to work for them.

Since Zero (good choice!) is such a fan of my multitude of posts, he should be well aware that I also infiltrated the US army to get a story.

Repetition can be effective in making one's point--as in the case of my indoctrination quote.

In your case--that of a broken record of the same insults and foolish comments--it's only effective in revealing you as a troll.

So is the expos� scheduled for the Pullitzer this year, or are you waiting until your agent has finalized the film rights and you've decided whether to give your role to Nicole Kidman or Whoopi Goldberg?

It never ceases to amaze me that everyone who disagrees with raven is a troll, an idiot and an abuser of grammar. Never mind that she blatantly attacks others to get a rise, regularly supports facts with her resume rather than evidence and has been caught out on several occasions by the grammar police. It seems that every once and a while someone has to come along and put her in place or she thinks she can run rampant all over civil discourse.

How many times does a puppy have to have its nose rubbed in its own mess before it learns?

Distiller: You're a dreamer. Moonraven has not been "caught out" by any "grammar police"--nor has she, in your quaint lingo, been "put in her place".

Do you have anything to contribute to the topic of this thread, or are you just smearing again?

Not at all. This is a clear non sequitur. First, reading your posts (which, in fact is a rare event for me, I happen to prefer die M�rchen der Br�der Grimm) in no way entails my being "a fan"; it merely means I have read them. Normally such points would not need to be made. Second, even if I had read such a post, all it would mean is that I was aware of your claiming to have "infiltrated the US army". But then, there is a whole multitude of such claims, and I surely can't be expected, let alone instructed, to believe them all.

For someone who claims to be an accomplished writer and to have taught logic, you certainly seem to commit a lot of basic level logical fallacies.

Oh Raven, I know your feathers have turned grey but has your memory gone the way of the Dodo as well? Please see http://www.eslcafe.com/forums/job/viewtopic.php?p=175863&highlight=#175863 for a reminder of just one meeting at the grammar precinct, or perhaps I dreamed it. That is not even to mention other minor errors I have had to "sic" for you while quoting your posts.

And you have been put in your place on several occasion such as when your prodding to continue to include political postings on this forum were rebuffed by the majority of posters and the site itself. Another dream?

So now that you�ve been put back in your place again, why don�t you tell us about it? I would imagine they serve rather large slices of humble pie there. And please do spare us the resume and ridiculous claims like: "I never exaggerate," for your fellow birdbrains.

Dodo: 1 a : an extinct heavy flightless bird. Fancy a name change to something more appropriate, raven?

Ah, distiller: Nothing to contribute to the thread on skin color, have you?

I am not surprised.
