[12:10:56] <Bytram> Title is driving me NUTS! The attack was directed AT muslims, so it was a muslim attack, NOT an anti-muslim attack. changed title from:
[12:10:56] <Bytram> Three Men Stood Up to Anti-Muslim Attack. Two Paid With Their Lives.
[12:10:56] <Bytram> to be:
[12:10:56] <Bytram> Three Men Stood Up to Muslim Attack. Two Paid With Their Lives.
[12:10:56] <Bytram> --Bytram

[12:22:35] <takyon> um
[12:22:37] <takyon> that's no good
[12:23:27] <takyon> bytram that change does not sound correct
[12:23:45] <takyon> go back to where you came from bytram!
[12:23:46] <Bytram> someone was attacking a muslim. that's a muslim attack. someone stood up to that. ==> Three men stood up to a muslim attack.
[12:24:09] <Bytram> oh, I see what you're thinking...
[12:24:10] <takyon> Three Men Stood Up to (Muslim Attack)
[12:24:16] <Bytram> nod nod
[12:24:17] <Bytram> ...
[12:24:25] <Bytram> threem ment stood up to an attack on a muslim.
[12:24:32] <Bytram> three men stood up to an attack on a muslim.
[12:24:39] <takyon> lol this could be rearranged infinitely
[12:24:48] <takyon> the previous version was... ok?
[12:24:54] <takyon> "to" is a bit confusing
[12:25:11] <takyon> like you are fighting an abstract concept rather than person
[12:26:11] <Bytram> Muslim was Attacked. Three Men Stood up to Defend Her. Two Men Survived.
[12:26:40] <Bytram> I dunno, but original is not right to my thinking, either... and I don't have time atm to do anything more... gotta get ready for work. :(
[12:27:42] <takyon> it's that dumb style of headline that WashPost seems to do
[12:28:08] <takyon> Three Men Stood Up to Anti-Muslim Attacker. Two Paid With Their Lives.
[12:28:20] <takyon> i hate it all
[12:28:24] <takyon> so much grammar
[12:28:58] <CoolHand> I like "stood up to attack on Muslims"
[12:29:11] <CoolHand> "a muslim attack" would probably be assumed to be muslims attacking others
[12:29:13] <takyon> BUT
[12:29:17] <takyon> there was only one Muslim
[12:29:21] <takyon> the other girl was not a Muslim
[12:29:25] <takyon> so plural is just plain wrong
[12:29:30] <CoolHand> yes, sorry
[12:29:32] <CoolHand> make singular
[12:30:21] <Bytram> sadly, I *really* gtg -- can't be late for work 3 days in a row!
[12:30:22] <Bytram> laters
[12:30:27] <CoolHand> c ya bytram
[12:30:40] <Bytram> ciao for now!
[12:30:42] <Bytram> afk
[12:31:07] <TheMightyBuzzard> from the further research in the comments it sounds more like three men stood up to raving loony with a knife.
[12:31:25] <takyon> i'm going to do some quick submissions since we have a load of crap in the list
[12:31:46] <takyon> also I posted a comment on dev demonstrating severals ways on how to break URLs in spoiler
[12:31:57] <TheMightyBuzzard> takyon, link?

[12:32:08] <TheMightyBuzzard> cheers
[12:32:30] <takyon> I tried to use my QUOTE THIS button to get the source but it broke because request too big
[12:32:43] <TheMightyBuzzard> won't be fixed quickly. i've got company in from out of state till the middle of next week.
[12:33:04] <takyon> basically, the problem is spacing between the URL and either spoiler tag (not just the opening one)
[12:33:16] <takyon> so if there is no spacing on either side it screws up
[12:33:21] <takyon> k
[12:33:55] <CoolHand> I think I"m going to whack some of the older butthurt political stories out of the sub queue...
[12:35:28] <TheMightyBuzzard> CoolHand, you da man. we been getting way too many of em subbed lately
[12:37:33] <takyon> what is the point of this Kaby Lake-X launch lol

[19:29:50] * nick yawn
[19:35:56] * TheMightyBuzzard waves at nick
[19:36:14] <TheMightyBuzzard> awe man, i almost got to put whatever i wanted on the front page
[19:37:12] <nick> maybe there is a god
[19:38:12] <TheMightyBuzzard> well of course, otherwise it'd have to be a global conspiracy to ruin my fun.
[19:39:21] * TheMightyBuzzard was seriously considering trolling the proper tabloids that don't even try for the pretense of good reporting for stories
[19:39:47] <nick> that would be all of them
[19:40:09] <TheMightyBuzzard> well the ones that revel in it then
[19:40:45] <TheMightyBuzzard> been a while since i read a good bigfoot raped my sister story

[20:07:24] <charon_> hiyo editorial
[20:12:51] <nick> thanks for jumping in there, charon_
[20:17:32] <charon_> and to you also
[20:17:47] <charon_> i can only imagine what a day of TMB would be like
[20:35:56] <nick> also thanks for running my Burger King story, it's not often i go for something amusing
[20:41:40] <charon_> that is pretty silly. sort of a streisand effect where protesting the ad gives it more publicity
[20:55:22] <nick> i like burger king more than monarchies
