Pat:

So there is accuracy in my answer as compared to your inferences of possible wrong doing leave me address each of your statement. If you do not take the time to get all the facts assumptions can bite you.

The first is you made an assumption that I, not any other possible person, misquoted Blacks dictionary. I used the definition from Online Ethics Center. All one needs to do is go to their website and you can see the accuracy of my quote. By the way I know you are better than this with the English language, was my posting in quotations? If it was not is that an indication it may not been word for word? So your comment is misleading.

You say I paraphrased the definition when in fact the proof from the wording on the website shows another person did that paraphrased the definition. Again, another misleading comment.

You inferred that because the wording was not what you found in the 5th edition it was in some way misleading to the reader and did not support my opinion. The information I gave in reference to Blask’s Law Dictionary came from the Online Ethics Center’s website who intern cited Black’s Law Dictionary, 6th edition, 1404-5. Because of you comment I acquired a 6th edition as was being used by the Online Ethics Center to confirm what you said about not being accurate. If you look at the definition in the 6th edition, I will admit it is not word for word with the one from the online Ethics Center, but the key words and phases are there. Anyone questioning this just needs to compare the two. Oh, that right you used the 5th edition. Another misleading comment.

Pat, a blind person can see the point I was making conforms to your definition as well as the one I quoted. This is however a good example how a written document can be misused in accusing or inferring wrongdoing upon a person without the facts supporting the accusations. Without just saying you found a different definition and giving me a chance to explain where my information originated from, you made misleading inferences about my posting, another words a direct attack because of our disagreement about 921. Can you understand how me and others related these attacks to 921 as well as the person making them? When you make a comment like, “Although I hope it was not a deliberate attempt to mislead,” you are saying there is the possibility there is a chance it was a deliberate attempt to mislead. Why would a person not take offence to that statement? I think John handled the word “crap” being used about the electrical proposal a lot better than this.

If you can get back to a regular discussion, I would appreciate your opinion as to how you believe the definition used by you better supports having a single document, that may or may not be generally accepted by those in the profession, as the Standard of Care for the profession.
