Alvin -
Clearly you do not really understand and accept that the words I
addressed
are yours and yours alone. You will agree that the words that I
addressed
are yours and yours alone, yes? I've asked you to show us here where
in the
Star Bulletin ariticle are the words I addressed - and you to date
have
utterly failed to do so. Why? Simple - they don't exist in the Star
Bulletin article.
You keep pointing to the Star Bulletin article instead of your very own
words, this time saying that I "...can't even figure out what the
article
says." hmmm....okay, let me take you by the hand and spell things
out for
you in a very simple and direct way that I hope even you can understand.
First, where in the article is anything - anything - about "improving
vistas?" Or even "vistas?" Or even "scenery?" Where? I submit that
this
idea - and the words conveying it - is yours and yours alone...not the
Star
Belletin's.
The Star Bulletine article talks about "...package deals such as three
nights for the cost of two, or four for three..." That sounds like, but
actually is not at all the same as, your "discounts on the high priced
rooms" much as you may think it is. Look - if I spend only two nights
in
Honolulu as I did my last trip to the islands on the way back from the
Big
Island to the Mainland, I cannot take advantage of "package deals
such as
three nights for the cost of two, or four for three," can I? On the
other
hand, I with my two night stay can take advantage of a "discount" of
something like 20%% off...yes? Or better yet - if I spend only one
night in
Honolulu, how can I take advantage of "package deals such as three
nights
for the cost of two, or four for three?" But I with my one night stay
certainly can take advantage of a "discount" of something like 25%%
off, can
I not? See the difference? See how this specific idea is yours - and
yours alone - and is not at all in the Star Bulletin?
So - how come you not standing behind your very own words? The issue
I have
is not what the Star Bulletin article says, but what you yourself say.
Understand?
[And Alvin - I did correctly quote you here, did I not? And nowhere
here
did I accuse you lying, did I? I don't want you going around again
falsely
claiming either/both.]
