Some express personal opinions and preferences from time to time but that's about it. What are you trying to prove? Lack of imagination? |

Some express personal opinions and preferences from time to time but that's about it. What are you trying to prove? Lack of imagination? Lack of interest in golf, RV'ing, other peoples' grandkids, spicy recipes, rec.boats posts from 1998 about defunct boat companies, et cetera. Non responsive brain fart. Can't that over hyped education of yours support actually writing any original opinion pieces? Richard was pointing out that you just quote articles, you never have an original thought. You dodged that question. It does make me wonder if you would have graduated if your professors had the ability to google your papers to see how much was simply cut and pasted. Hehehe. I've stated many times that the poisonous right-wing atmosphere in rec.boats makes writing and posting "original" opinion pieces here a waste of my time and effort. When the righties here start behaving decently towards everyone, I'll consider it. I did quite well in my English Lit and Sociology majors, based upon my ability to write, my ability to research (before Google) and my understanding of the mechanics of producing college level papers. Certainly I "quoted" sources, because you were supposed to integrate the works of others into your papers, and give those others credit for their "contributions." You were supposed to add your points or knowledge or findings to all that had gone before. I knew this because in the 10 grade at my high school, I was lucky enough to be in the AP English class of one Emma Ruff, unquestionably the best teacher I've ever encountered, and she taught us how to do well in college liberal arts courses, which involve a lot of writing. I lucked out my first semester with placement in "Advanced English Composition." The associate professor wanted us to demonstrate we understood the "how" of writing, so he went to the blackboard and asked each of us to dictate the "completion" of a sentence fragment he scrawled there...a different sentence fragment for each of the 12 class members. Everyone else came up with sentences that ran maybe 100 words. Mine, properly punctuated from beginning to end, ran 997 words and covered three blackboards. Nowadays, most of my "for fun" writing appears on Facebook. |

I'm surprised you didn't issue an order or directive to Greg to cease and desist......oh yeah, he's not one of your Moppetts. |
