Reply #195: There hasn't been "one discussion".... [View All]

This is an open-forum Q&A thread, so there have been several little discussions.

I am only defending a single policeman who is one of us (a DUer) and came on this thread for SIX hours and answered all sorts of questions. I enjoyed following the thread today because of his openness and enthusiasm in being a DU member. When two posters (not you) then came on and started dumping on him and making stuff up about what he said, yeah...I got pretty upset and wanted to defend the guy. I don't see any harm in that. Remember, this is a single policemen, no where does he represent some monolithic "policeman". I think he had earned our respect, and I got sick of the intellectual dishonesty going on in the discussion.

As for the "sic", I am pretty strict about using quotes from other posts, including not correcting typos. Hence the "sic". I apologize if you saw it as some type of jab. It wasn't mean that way.
