jane percy duchess of northumberland ' bias accusation it's one thing to disagree on content another entirely for you to make an accusation of bias if you have any moral compass whatsoever you will now either substantiate your accusation or withdraw it and apologise ad hominem attacks are not acceptable talk it was not an attack it was an observation you've already distorted her words for example you inserted a claim that she dismisses criticism as uninformed and bitchy which is not what the source said if my observation was wrong i am sorry but i'm not convinced that it was i hope that you will prove otherwise the leap you need to explain is how you get from your assertion of not what the source said to bias the source said of one set of critics gardeners are quite bitchy aren't they of another there was only a handful of grand english lady designers and the bitchiness i encountered was unbelievable these would seem to support an assertion that she dismissed critics as bitchy how many times in one piece must we read such dismissals before we conclude that she dismisses critics as bitchy and how however you view my sentence construction does it amount to bias you have made the assertion it is now down to you to explain yourself talk this isn't going away surtsicna you no more get to walk away from this than you would if you'd accused a banker of fraud or a teacher of child abuse either explain how any of my actions amount to bias withdraw the accusation or accept that you are a deeply flawed individual lacking in the basic common courtesies and again as common courtesy start using edit summaries there really is no excuse for your behaviour talk
