Oprhah Winfrey Picks A Fraud?

ChiptBeef · Post by **ChiptBeef** » Sun Jan 15, 2006 9:55 am

I know a select minority of members have been troubled by the posting of facts and independent reports that support my opinions, positions and posts. I cannot allow that select minority to dissuade me from exercising my Constitutional rights.

A Time Online Edition article by Lev Grossman published on 1/12/06 titled "Pros and Cons" reports on the James Frey / Oprah Winfrey scandal with interesting facts and commentary.

Another interesting twist to this scandal is brought to light in another online article "Random House Offers Refund for Frey's 'Pieces'" which is backed up by a "Reuters story on CNN."

A spelling error by a member of The Forum Garden. Surely that's a first. I just tried to go into the first post to correct the minutiae, but couln't "edit." I would venture to guess that the vast majority of members and guest will not loose much sleep over it. Except maybe the ones that are avid microscope or magnifying glass users.

So, it's never happened before? Is it forum policy that certain members are designated as "The Spelling Police?" Would it comfort you for me to admit my spelling error? Yes, woe is me. I sometimes make spelling and typing errors. Please don't call for the horses to have me drawn and quartered. Oh please......:rolleyes:

"Stupid" is an interesting way to self-identify.

"Pompous" is a subjective word. You have a right to your own opinion. That's why I love America... our freedoms.

We're still waiting on a retraction or apology from Oprah for her role in this fraud that came to pass once she endorsed the book, but all we hear is crickets.

There's no need. StupidC.T. is one of the Exalted Speculators and Fabricators on the forum. Kind of like that snake-oil salesman that presnted fraud in the book that Oprah endorsed. If StupidC.T. doesn't have the names or facts, there's plenty of thin air to pull from.

This is the thread where you are getting lambasted.......

She states something from Snooze.......I asked what that had to do with anything.....she wanted me to know that Snooze PM's and Emails her.......she then states that I'm lucky she don't print her e-mails and PMs......(well thats good of her).......on the other hand it doesn't make Snooze to good.

This is the thread that's supposed to be dedicated to the fraud that Oprah endorsed. Not to get to technical.... but let's all try to focus.
