Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

    Dude is accusing me of creating an entire fake Simpson transcript bc I'm not replicating entire pages every time I quote something (which most other people aren't either). Apparently searching on a phrase to confirm is "virtually impossible."https://twitter.com/John_de_Vashon/status/951109070357868545 …

    What I just posted is one example. At the very least, posting a screen shot like this removes any potential doubt that what you're posting is a photoshop fake. Shit. I could make up a fixed-font screen shot to say anything I wanted and call it a passage from this transcript. pic.twitter.com/UP23uc9lKR

        My point is I don't even need to do that bc transcript is searchable so he can easily, like child's play, find anything I screen cap.

        Not directed at you, but I wish twitter etiquette was to provide links to back up all these damn images. Sourcing is everything. I see even supposed journalists posting unsourced screen shots of other journalists' work, or of raw material.

        At least two of my threads on the transcript had the link at the beginning of the thread.

        If only a PDF reader had some capability for locating a specific piece of text in the opened document ... man, if someone could invent that ... they could be RICH! </snark>

        Well, to be fair, reading is hard, and comprehension even harder.

        Oh stahp. You're leaving yourself open to such accusations by being so fucking stubborn about the way you take a screen shot of an historically important document. Seriously. Just staaaph...
