Comments on: Richard Neely’s lack of irony (III) https://www.overlawyered.com/2008/07/richard-neelys-lack-of-irony-iii/ Chronicling the high cost of our legal system Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:09:35 +0000 hourly 1 By: Ted https://www.overlawyered.com/2008/07/richard-neelys-lack-of-irony-iii/comment-page-1/#comment-24080 Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:04:02 +0000 http://overlawyered.com/?p=7234#comment-24080 The only claim I made was that I thought it was irresponsible to go along quoting Neely without noting he disagrees with your interpretation of his work.

Justinian’s honesty here is questionable. His post, titled “Are ‘reformers’ lying or just being sloppy when they use this quote?”, concluded “Credit for debunking this quote doesn’t belong to me. It belong’s [sic] to Professor Elizabeth Thornburg who explained the quote’s misuse in her excellent paper” [missing comma in original].

So Lane made claims far more reaching than simply complaining about quoting someone without noting a disagreement about interpretation of the quote–a complaint that is disingenuous given that Lane has never asked me for my interpretation of a quote before quoting me, and has frequently misunderstood or misinterpreted or misquoted me.

Lane tries to change the subject in the last paragraph, but the question suggests he has not read this post.

Now I’m happy because you’re presenting both sides of the issue and letting readers decide who is correct.

As for the Blankenship case, do you disagree that states should be able to set their own product liability regimes? I presume you’d like to see these preempted as well…
