Spinning? You must be joking. I simply pointed out your ethics deficit...

ROFLMAO - It took you all of four minutes to find my post and give your response.  Yeah, sure thing stanley, I must be joking.

There's a term for people who alter the quotes of others. We call them liars.

Good definition to know.  Unfortunately for you, of course, I didn't actually alter your quote. 

What I did do was respond to your quote out of context.  We have a term for those people, too:  Three's Company script writers (e.g. Chrissy overhears a conversation between Jack and Janet, takes it out of context, and hilarity ensues).

And since we are providing definitions, what do we call a person that is an (1) an old gas bag that feels the need to opine on every topic on a message board (no matter how ill informed his opinions might be), and (2) has a sense of self worth that is almost entirely dictated by his status as a broker for "almost Merrill"?  We call them Stanley, but then I think you knew that already.

Wow, I suspected you had an ethics deficit, but I wouldn't have guessed how deep it actually went.

Here's the real quote;

"I have MANY clients who now deal with a pro because they feel the market ISN’T the easy place it was in the 1990s AND/OR they blew themselves up and are seeking help."

And here's how you edited it;

"I have MANY clients who now deal with a pro."

That's not "context", little fella, that's editing. That's lying.

Now, I suggest you take your ethics short-falling, door knocking newbie self back to your technology and tool deficit third tier firm with the office next to the Subway shop and see if the last guy in your desk (who probably wasn’t there long enough to leave an impression in the seat) left a dictionary and perhaps a reader on the value of honesty.
