Interesting. You didn’t see the email, so how could you know?
Further, it is hardly pimping by posting the entire post. If I was pimping, I would have posted an excerpt to push people to my site to read the rest and get the traffic.
Oh, and a blog pimp only posts on FR to promote his blog - it's about more than excerpting. All you post here is your blog and comments about such.
This was YOUR OWN comment, stated in the blog post:
DOL staff have already been warned about deleting emails and are expected to be going through an ethics briefing in the not to distant future.
It's the only thing you presented in the blog post that could remotely be construed that shredding is going on.
Are you telling me there was more there that you did not include in your blog post? Are you really sure you want to engage in this asinine defense of your work - that I did not see something that you did and that you refused to put into your blog entry - that would have strengthened your case? And that you are demanding I prove a negative, when it is contingent upon you to make the case for the claim you have made?
You just seem to have an extremely thin skin, dude - indicated by your resorting to ever-more inane attacks against legitimate criticism of your claims.
