Picking straws aren't we huh? I just summarized the gist of what he said but I added a link to the full article nevertheless so that everyone can read the article in full.
I don't see the point in posting everything word for word when I put a link to the article. It seems you are a new member here in Interference with 66 posts and having joined only 2 months ago.
I have been here for over 2 years and have learned never to underestimate the intelligence of the Interference people. This is a forum of opinionated intelligent U2 fans, and when you post them a link they will all read it.
If my intention was dishonesty then I wouldn't have had posted the link. Failure to quote the article in full does not constitute laziness for me when I already posted a link.
Anyway, I can't blame you for the outrage. Your relative inexperience still has you on the learning stage to the ins and outs of this forum. Give yourself a few more months and you will feel very at home in this forum, just like I have over the past two years.
Cheers,

J, I don't want to get into a personal discussion, but you're trolling again, specifically for me. While I may be new to Interference, YOU KNOW I've been a member of Wire for years (since 1995, to be exact), as we've had numerous discussions through that list in the past. You've stopped posting on Wire, perhaps because too many people had seen through your baiting tactics by that point. The format is different here but we're talking about the same things. There's no reason for some kind of condescending remark about me getting used to the system.
Back to the topic, the point is that Bono was making an UNFAVORABLE comparison of ATYCLB to The Bomb (and JT, and AB), and you quoted him in a way that made it seem like he was praising it more. That's deceptive. Since you claim to be neither lazy nor dishonest, let's just say you're disingenuous.
You claim to have a law degree, so perhaps people here forgive you for sleazy courtroom-type tactics, as it might be part of your job.
