Solomon's "Foot-in-ass" problem

Snooty, snot-nosed Solomon is at is again. Mr. Civility ("we shall do our best, blah, blah, blah"), perhaps sensing how foolish his site appears to the general public, is now resorting to name-calling and accusing Odyssey of lying (well, the latter is hardly a first). Here' what he posted this morning:

Solomon: "OMR has to tackle regularly Stemm's foot-in-mouth problem. Here is the We don't know for sure what shipwreck this is, right now... Bloomberg News Video statement with Stemm claiming: Sometimes people just dump things off of ships to prevent the ships from sinking...Well yes, they do, but as has been pointed out a number of times both here and elsewhere, that has nothing whatever to do with what OMR found and what is more, Stemm knows it. Yes, listen to Stemm answering the Bloomberg presenter and much of what he has to say does not relate specifically to the Black Swan. You are watching a PR man at work, spinning the story in preparation for the admiralty arrest case. As I keep reminding: do not take anything OMR at face value. Nothing is as it seems."

"Stemm knows it"? That sounds rather definitive. So, in addition to your lack of credentials in history and archaeology (we're still awaiting your undoubtedly impressive CV, incidentally), you're now going to venture into mind reading? Solomon, you don't know what Stemm "knows," nor do you have a clue what they found, any more than you comprehend how Odyssey operates as a business.

And yes, Mr. Goofy (well, according to our super scientific, objective poll), we all know a sound legal strategy is to "spin" (or, as you mean it: "lie") before going into a court where the truth will be revealed. It's a good thing court decisions aren't merely based on a bunch of bitter, hateful automatons who try with all their limited mental capacity to simply will the outcome through disingenuous thoughts and words, now isn't it? (Although, we don't discount the entertainment value of the effort.)

Finally, Sport, we think you're the last person on the planet who should be questioning others' credibility. As we, and our readers, have shown in a short period of time, you, your members and your website, have a very difficult time with even the basics: whether it's who's currently on Odyssey's board of directors, the depth of the BS find, the endless, stupid and often contradictory speculations on the BS, or your ability to act in an ethical, honest manner when it comes to reporting on events involving Odyssey (as Doc's ship fire posts aptly demonstrated), you're consistently off-base and just flat-out wrong.

No karma for you!
