Is there an article or essay on when OPINION should be used? RevMary seems to be more than just blind. and I don't want to get into it with her.
her article seems to be totally opinion: http://www.nowpublic.com/world/why-shouldnt-i-get-paid
if there is an article or explanation, I would like to point it out to her, or maybe an EDITOR should.

Rene, I just wrenched one of RevMary's pieces and asked her to include 'opinion' in both the title and the tags on the piece I wrenched and other similar pieces. I will also PM her.

hahahahahah! Now normally I would chastise for such a comment but it did make me laugh! ;) Oh, I'm sassy alright!

Still would be nice if there were an essay or article on 'When Opinion should be in the Headline.' especially for newbies or to refer those who should really know better. Just to avoid argument on it in discussions.
It's doubly hard when using the Highlight tool, excerpting from an original Opinion, Op-Ed, or Editorial piece.
And if you're adding your own comments to an excerpted news piece, does that make it opinion, or ... what?
BTW, thanks. Tried to explain to her, but....

I agree that some guidelines would be very useful.

I have never heard of RevMary? Does she post a lot on here?

She posted A LOT for one day. I wrenched a couple of her pieces because they were [very] poorly presented and not newsworthy. We also PMed about posting.
I came online the next day and she was deleted. Don't know.
