Well, unlike Morgan, I gave the source of the quotes so my
statements can be checked out. Morgan seems to find this idea of
checking statements to be offensive, but that's science for you.
;-)
I try to always quote accurately -- if I err as I quote, it's
likely a typo -- if Morgan's repeated misquoting is all typos,
there're suspiciously "convenient". I also try to provide context,
which is why my posts about Morgan's misrepresentation of Derek
Denton's work was rather long. Morgan seems to like deleting
context, or even, as she did with Denton, making up her own.
