(146,288 posts)who pointed out your mistake. You even resorted to sophomoric insults, like calling those who questioned you things like "sport" and "dude." Bottom line here is that you altered what someone said to cast that person in a different light for whatever reason. That got noticed and called out by people, including me.
Instead of fixing the issue by removing the quotation marks, you doubled down and got testy.
I mean, you have to do you, I suppose, but it ended up being a bad look for you, really.
Also, "cringe" is a verb or a noun, not an adjective. I think the expression you are looking for is, "cringe-worthy."
See, journalists have to be accurate in their writing.
DU is, in fact, a publication. It's just that its writers are not paid, nor are they required to be professionals. Still, if you break the basic rules of honest journalism, you're going to get called out for it. There are real journalists here.
