That's not what he said.	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#15
What did he say then?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#16
Okay, guess that answers that question	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#18
No... your quote is incorrect. He did NOT say what you claim he said.	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#23
I see you failed to provide the "right" quote	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#26
That's your job. What are you afraid of?	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#29
I provided the video	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#30
And your "quote" was incorrect. That's deceptive. Purely accidental I'm sure.	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#31
Then what was the correct quote?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#32
Be honest. Correct your mistake.	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#33
The quote is right there	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#34

You're really going to make a big deal of a paraphrase?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#40
Hm	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#55
This you?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#57
Yes that was my thread.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#64
Then we should all practice what you preach	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#67
I am posting facts, not ridiculing a member.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#74
You said falsely that I provided an inaccurate quote	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#80
But you did.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#83
No, the title was a paraphrase	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#84
You put quote "" marks in your title.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#104
So no quote marks means all is right in the world?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#110
You quoted a non quote.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#115
I quoted a paraphrase	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#116
A paraphrase is not a direct quote	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#120
Yes, and I assume you don't expatiate on internet forum writing style	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#125
Okay, I'll offer an olive leaf	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#114
A quote is a quote.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#117
You don't read edited interviews, do you?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#119
You "quoted"an article.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#124
Call it "edited due to space"	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#129
That's not how quotes work	Zeitghost	Dec 2021	#212
Or you can imagine the quote marks aren't there	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#214
He paraphrased a partial quote and then put quotation marks around it as if it were an actual quote.	lapucelle	Dec 2021	#198
Here's the right quote.	lapucelle	Dec 2021	#196
Watch the video.	Tomconroy	Dec 2021	#19
What did he say?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#21
What he said is in the OP's tweet, and it is entirely different from the OP's subject line. Why?	George II	Dec 2021	#36
You know why.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#59
No, why?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#81
You posted it.	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#86
No, you know better than all of us	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#94
It's in the tweet and in the video. You posted it, surely you know what he said, right?	George II	Dec 2021	#37
That's why I paraphrased it	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#45
You didn't paraphrase it, you rewrote it.	George II	Dec 2021	#191
This is one of these times	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#193
You put "quotation marks" around it, meaning it's a direct quote of Mayor-elect Adams, even though..	George II	Dec 2021	#194
Style Guide?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#195
My Guy?	sheshe2	Dec 2021	#199
Fact remains, he never said "You can only question me if you wore a bulletproof vest"....	George II	Dec 2021	#207
Why would anyone invoking "[publishing] industry truth", be unaware of the correct reference tool	lapucelle	Dec 2021	#206

That's far from an accurate quote of Mayor-elect Eric Adams.	George II	Dec 2021	#35
Oh my god	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#42
Did you watch the video? What did he say, your quote or the tweeter's quote. There is only one.....	George II	Dec 2021	#43
What did Adams say again?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#47
The text is in the tweet that you included in your OP, and also in the video. Suggest you watch it.	George II	Dec 2021	#52
Aaand that's why it's included in my OP	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#54
So why are you changing what he really said? As for repeating it, it's in this thread....	George II	Dec 2021	#60
Because titles in OPs have character limits	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#65
You could have given the first part of his EXACT quote and used....	George II	Dec 2021	#68
Didn't know that was in the DU bylaws...	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#71
Well, it's common sense. And I don't play golf so don't call me "Tiger", okay?	George II	Dec 2021	#73
Common sense recognizes a paraphrase when they see it	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#77
Not in quote marks! 🤣😂🤣😂🤪😜	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#88
Drop Dead wasn't enclosed by quotation marks. What you presented was, so it wasn't....	George II	Dec 2021	#90
Lol!	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#93
Whatever, you've already misrepresented (and misquoted) what Adams said, so do what you want....	George II	Dec 2021	#97
No, his exact quotes are in the post	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#99
It's not at all common to put quotes around something that's paraphrased.	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#102
It is in interviews	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#105
That's hysterical!	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#106
Yes, industry truth is hilarious	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#109
It's not the truth. It's farce. Anyone who has even bothered to read this far...	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#112
Yeah, it's pretty farcical	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#113
No, the farce is how absurdly the defense and excuses are...	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#126

This is a very silly discussion	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#169
Oh, it matters.	MineralMan	Dec 2021	#172
You're applying your journalistic standards to a forum post	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#173
Look, you wrote countless replies to people in this thread	MineralMan	Dec 2021	#174
This reads like a parody of what a scold would say	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#176
He initiated "the whole journalism thing" with references invoking publishing industrstry standards.	lapucelle	Dec 2021	#208
Oh, well...	MineralMan	Dec 2021	#209

That was pressure? It's clear you didn't grow up in Brooklyn or NYC.	George II	Dec 2021	#70
Oh, wow...	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#75
I grew up in NYC	greenjar_01	Dec 2021	#140
Don't you you think in essence that it's the same...	electric_blue68	Dec 2021	#182
Not even close to being the same. But the second half of your post is very much what he said....	George II	Dec 2021	#184
Oh... Der on me! I didn't realize that this was from...	electric_blue68	Dec 2021	#186
Not all 29 are new, but many of them are. I don't know the actual breakdown.	George II	Dec 2021	#187
TY 👍 Bookmarked. Will read later, or Fri Lotsa of errands and cleaningto do!	electric_blue68	Dec 2021	#190

Bazinga!	George II	Dec 2021	#44
NYC loves Mayor-elect Adams!	Tomconroy	Dec 2021	#50
Bazinga X 2! Yes, they love him. He'll be the first Mayor who grew up on the streets....	George II	Dec 2021	#58
He also lost Kalief Browder	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#69
If you actually watch the video clip the first thing he says	Tomconroy	Dec 2021	#211
Yes, he supports "punitive segregation"	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#215
He may have won the votes of the inmates he is protecting from violent assault by other inmates.	lapucelle	Dec 2021	#210
NYC needs a strong mayor.	Zeitghost	Dec 2021	#41
I'm really impressed with him. He's the first really hard-ass Mayor I've seen since.....	George II	Dec 2021	#49
Smiling while advocating torture is kinda gross.	WhiskeyGrinder	Dec 2021	#78
How did he advocate torture?	George II	Dec 2021	#87
By saying he'll reverse the current policy against solitary confinement.	WhiskeyGrinder	Dec 2021	#92
The last hard-ass mayor was Rudy	Sewa	Dec 2021	#159

Troubling when context-free	ecstatic	Dec 2021	#61
He used criminals as an excuse to dismiss city council members' concerns about solitary confinement	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#63
Ok so I finally watched the clip and the substance of what Adams is saying	ecstatic	Dec 2021	#150
Solitary confinement was abolished because it was subject to abuse	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#152
The context is in the video. He explained it and his position clearly.	George II	Dec 2021	#66
Yes, and he said he's going to ignore certain constituents	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#72
What exactly did he say? I don't think he said he'd "ignore certain constituents", did he?	George II	Dec 2021	#76
"What I'm Going To Do"	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#79
That's not in the subject line of your OP. Clearly he said a lot more than those few words.	George II	Dec 2021	#85
Glad I'm not a stickler for style	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#96
It's not style, it's a misquote for whatever reason it was done.	George II	Dec 2021	#98
You would go crazy when you realize how newspapers edit quotes	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#100
No I wouldn't, especially since newspapers don't edit quotes and then print them in quotes....	George II	Dec 2021	#103
I already explained earlier in this thread, dude	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#107
No you didn't, but whatever. BTW, I'm not your "dude", or "sparky" or any other disrespectful....	George II	Dec 2021	#123
That type of behavior is a tell-tale indication of when someone knows that they're...	NurseJackie	Dec 2021	#127
Yep, you figured me out	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#134
Yes I did, and we already discussed it	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#135
You didn't and we won't. You clearly have a problem with the duly elected DEMOCRATIC Mayor....	George II	Dec 2021	#138
So much for Democrats uniting	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#141
Democrats are united. Period. What do "hippies" have to do with it? The last time....	George II	Dec 2021	#143
You were alive in the 60s?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#145
I was alive in the 40s.	George II	Dec 2021	#146
So that makes you what generation?	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#149
Why should that matter?	George II	Dec 2021	#167
Does it matter to you	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#170

So you think him saying he's going to do his job and ignore distractions...	George II	Dec 2021	#202
Hmm, noticed that this was posted very early in the morning	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#213
Here's exactly what he said.	lapucelle	Dec 2021	#197
Mayor-Elect Eric Adams gets great press coverage all over the world!	Tomconroy	Dec 2021	#95
He's going to be an excellent Mayor, a representative of ALL the people.	George II	Dec 2021	#131
In the Democratic Primary, none of my five RCVs went to Adams.....	brooklynite	Dec 2021	#122
And yet he still led in all 8 rounds and won the nomination and the general election.	George II	Dec 2021	#132
Although I have heard you say this before, it always surprises me	Polybius	Dec 2021	#151
I've never said I'm a conservative Democrat	brooklynite	Dec 2021	#155
Is it too early to start thinking: President-Elect Adams?	Tomconroy	Dec 2021	#139
Really?	BlackSkimmer	Dec 2021	#164
What can you say? Authoritarians are rockstars for certain people	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#166
Good for Adams	Polybius	Dec 2021	#147
I don't like the idea of solitary confinement and I think it should be used sparingly at most.	PTWB	Dec 2021	#153
North Dakota implemeted Behavioral Intervention Units	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#156
All prisons should remove solitary confinement as a punishment for petty violations.	PTWB	Dec 2021	#158
I've got an idea if that doesn't work	Polybius	Dec 2021	#161
Solitary confinement doesn't mean "in a cage by themselves next to other people's cages."	WhiskeyGrinder	Dec 2021	#165
He should talk to them instead of dismiss them outright	wellst0nev0ter	Dec 2021	#157
That's what he said he wanted to do instead of receiving	Tomconroy	Dec 2021	#162
well we have a "Democrat" who acts like a fascist now.	ZonkerHarris	Dec 2021	#154
