Re: The FT publishes me again (on Gazprom vs (none / 0)

"shameful and unprofessional" were the words you used to qualify the FT headlines two days ago. I do not have the luxury of time to head more back in you past posts, but I was under the impression that you were pretty critical of the FT.
I apologise if this impression was pure fantasy and not substantiated by anything whatsoever you may have written.

If we were talking about The Sun, "shameful [because] unprofessional" would go with the territory. The problem is when you find that the "newspapers of record" (NYT, WaPo, LA Times, Times, Guardian, FT, Le Monde...) behave like taboids.

I think you'll find that in general he's been pretty nice about the FT. I suspect he's sold more than one subscription for them.

Certain of their articles have been terrible though. I rather got the impression that part of his annoyance is that he expects better from the FT: certainly that's my opinion. You don't call someone unprofessional unless you expect professionalism from them.

Thank you Colman, you really made his point, and I certainly do not know Jérôme as well as you do, and could not have guessed.
Besides, I may have been led astray by my own belief that, when conveying a message, one should aim at making oneself understood even by those who are not up to your levels of intelligence or insight. Ah, the élite legacy... <s>

I'm glad you appreciate my humble efforts to explain things to the thousand other people that read this stuff and don't know how well you do or don't know Jérôme.

This thread is beginning to dovetail wirh silliness.

Touché thank you for showing me so diplomatically the way out.
BTW, I could have done with Migeru's comment.

I don't understand, I thought you would have troll rated my comment.
I did not rate yours, as there is no catgeory corresponding to "wounding".

Re: The FT publishes me again (on Gazprom vs (none / 0)

Clearly, I entirely misread your comment. I like my misreading better than whatever it was you meant to say: take the 4 as a present and let's leave it at that...

Re: (none / 0)

I am currently in a working environment that is very much conducive to paranoia. And my comment, in a way I wanted to be soft and not whiny as I often tend to be (in the nobody-likes-me style), was for you to know I did understand your message. That said, I was hurt by what I had understood. No use however to keep polluting the thread.
