You wrote, "I don't do journalism, I'm not a traitor to my country."

Those are two distinct sentences; thus, the comma after the word 'journalism' should be replaced with a period, or--if you want to indicate a closer pairing of the two disparate thoughts, a semicolon. Further, according to abb, the two of you 'qualify as editors' on this forum. Within the context of abb's statement, the term 'editors' clearly denotes a journalistic position. The second statement, 'I'm not a traitor' is the result of fallacious inductive reasoning; i.e., since all journalists are traitors, and I am not a journalist, then I am not a traitor. That all journalists are traitors would surprise many, including such luminaries as Brit Hume, Chris Wallace, Michelle Malkin, and others.

What you probably mean to say is that you don't 'do' coherent, readable writing or clear thinking.
