As a pro writer you would think he would know... <br /><br />From a lawyer: With all due respect, Mr. Farrell, your writer friends are probably not giving you an unbiased opinion. Without question, the HOGD/AO is caught up in the wide net that you cast regarding your discussion of modern personality golden dawn cults in your Introduction. It is not explicit, it is implied. The very fact that your negative description in your Introduction is so lose as to potentially include potentially several groups and/or individuals (including the HOGD/AO), gives one pause to wonder how this could not be intentional on your part. It is the effect of the negative association, however, that is damaging to the reputation of the HOGD/AO. Whether or not you intended this is irrelevant. The effect is there, and only you have the power to alter that, whether or not it was intended in the first instance.<br /><br />You say that Mr. Griffin bothched your words in his quotation of your work, and that he did this with specific intent to deceive people and to twist your words into something that they are not.<br /><br />This did not happen. Your writers' analysis as to whether your introduction, as selectively quoted by Mr. Griffin, somehow changes the content and meaning of your work is hardly compelling. In fact, when your introduction is read in whole, not solely the selective quote by Mr. Griffin, it is even more clear to the reader that the HOGD/AO is implicated in your disparaging assessment. So, the missing material from Mr. Griffin's quotation (the irrelevant material) only adds strength to Mr. Griffin's argument. This set of circumstances strongly leads me to believe that there was no intent to deceive by Mr. Griffin, because the redacted material would have helped the Mr. Griffin's argument, not detracted from it.<br /><br />I don't want to parse and analyze Mr. Griffin's quotation piece by piece in this forum and compare it to the source from whence it came. I don't believe that is necessary because it is so simple. Any curious reader can do this themselves and come to their own conclusion.<br /><br />In sum, your words were quoted, not concocted. They were quoted in context, because the context did not change from where the quotes were extracted. And the minimal mistake made by Mr. Griffin in not showing there was a break in the quote in the last sentence changes nothing in the larger analysis.Sr VLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814337050017726886.post-89180762214239027422012-03-26T23:08:59.719-07:002012-03-26T23:08:59.719-07:00The funny thing is that Nick's mysterious Germ...The funny thing is that Nick's mysterious German friend told me that Nick specifically published his book just to attack the HOGD/A+O.Sincerus Renatus...https://www.blogger.com/profile/16773943810683981054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814337050017726886.post-30304026836789693642012-03-26T07:06:15.916-07:002012-03-26T07:06:15.916-07:00It is tragically comic to watch how Nick Farrell r...It is tragically comic to watch how Nick Farrell refuses to take any responsibility for his own actions and instead keeps trying desperately to blame an imaginary straw man he is creating called "the evil David Griffin". <br /><br />Farrell, caught defaming an entire order, is trying to drag the entire Golden Dawn community into a third grade food fight, merely to divert attantion from that he is caught slagging your order in his book.<br /><br />Good for you guys, for not fighting back, but instead just holding up a mirror exposing his sick antics.<br /><br />This sort of sick behavior blaming others did not work for Zink. It will not work for Farrell either. Like Zink before him, Farrell will wind up on the rubbish heap of Golden Dawn history if he keeps this up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8814337050017726886.post-65881960957705609842012-03-26T01:21:53.977-07:002012-03-26T01:21:53.977-07:00We can all invent talking heads to spout our opini...We can all invent talking heads to spout our opinionating for us. <br /><br />Not quite sure why we should be impressed by the opinions of two anonymous writers...Sr VLnoreply@blogger.com
