Worst thing was journalist said, "I'm asking in your capacity as an "analyst/commentator." Because analysis is for free.

But we do that to people everyday - accountants, lawyers, police. We ask for their time for a quote.

Yes. But they are not our competitors in a field in which we also get paid. A lawyer asking help fr another lawyer expects to pay.

first tweet made it sound like a quote - but guessing was taking a lot of time to explain something, which would be different.

This is the second time I've asked this particular journo not to ask for my work for free. It was a shitty insulting request.
