I am commenting on the manner in which you have written and edited your post. <br /><br />You meant to highlight her preoccupation, instead you make it seem like her occupation. <br /><br />You need to learn editing. And you need to be aware of what you are saying. <br /><br />anon@ 17.32Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-68174710924804315372009-11-24T19:58:17.154+04:002009-11-24T19:58:17.154+04:00certainly gives enough fodder for the Dubai/UAE-ba...certainly gives enough fodder for the Dubai/UAE-bashing camp.Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01267643422775549142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-16414682663462509102009-11-24T17:16:51.459+04:002009-11-24T17:16:51.459+04:00No Kyle, no accusations...

SD picked that one out to post.<br /><br />It's a typical lurid, sensationalist story that the tabloids and their readers love. Sadly, SD has for a while been cherry-picking stories like this for her infrequent blog postings.Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-82476209752914423382009-11-24T14:30:09.699+04:002009-11-24T14:30:09.699+04:00Dubai Jazz:

My comment was about those men & women or boys & girls that were the focus of this post. I emphasized that when I wrote -- <i>all suspects in focus in this so-called, as you say, sensational case have flunked their ethics test!</i>.

I ha...This is a really weird post and blog entry. <br /><br />I had to read the comments to realise that the blogger is not quoting SD but quoting from a news report she has quoted/posted from a paper. <br /><br />This was a good two minutes after I stared at the screen goggle eyed at what the post implied about SD's occupation in Dubai. <br /><br />Good lord! Please learn the basics of storytelling before you go on to ethics of journalism/blogging. You NEED to clarify on that post that you are commenting on the news she has chosen to post about. <br /><br />You have happily removed the name of the girl that is in the earlier line which makes it clear.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
