This is not an attempt to claim or assume any authority on Newsvine, and should not be construed as such. Rather, it is written with the goal of clarifying what I see everyday - misconceptions about the meaning and application of the First Article of the Newsvine Code of Honor.

I have no idea if this translation is accurate or not, though the video, even without sound, is offensive in it's own right. I dedicate this to all the Viners who, as a way of demonizing Islam, post YouTube videos of Imams talking which also have questionable translations.   …

If anyone doubted that veterans remain potent political symbols, they need look no further than Congress’s ability to set aside partisan gridlock last week and overwhelmingly enact legislation providing tax credits to businesses that hire veterans.

Dennis,

Dennis, I hope you don't mind, but I paid homage to your advice about visiting Ephesus on my latest Foto Friday article: http://circled-thrice.newsvine.com/_news/2011/08/05/7124988-foto-friday-ephesus-turkey
If you do, just let me know and I'll remove the reference. Thanks again!
Dennis,
I was really surprised to find your name on SROs' Banned/Suspended list. But, I was shocked to see what it was for ...... and for a week!
Just so you know, I posted the following comment on that thread;
"Tyler,
"I agree with every word wheel said in #2.11. I too seldom disagree with you and have often defended you when you've been accused of being unfair. However, I don't understand what happened here, referring to a group of Vine as "cretins", who may well have been acting like cretins, does not seem to be a particularly egregious CoH violation, actually I don't see it as a violation at all, as it is not a direct attack on a member, but then I'm not a moderator."
"As I said, I don't know what happened here, but this time I cannot agree with you. If I didn't think it might get me suspended, I would say you just had a temporary lack of judgement, so I won't say it."

You continue to impress me. Thanks for your insight.
Dennis,
you have inspired me to move on to other areas of NV....how you might ask? Well, just enjoying reading your comments enough to come and take a peek at your column. There is so much more here than the Driftwoods and the Victors and I need to move away from them and actually "get smarter"
I knew you had to be a teacher!

You are still one of my favorites Dennis. xoxo
Just checked out the bulletin board on Velvet Underground that you maintain. Cool! (I joined the site as "icu_nurse", of course.) Glad I met you here. Your post brought back nice memories of a time long ago, meeting some extraordinary people (Sterling Morrison, for one). Cheers! :)
You're truly the best of what Newsvine has to offer me. I learn from you every time you show up, even if I don't comment myself. Thanks for all that you offer, and your generosity.
Hey Dennis :) Good to be back~thx for the add babes~
Dennis McCann is one of the most insightful and knowledgeable contributors to Newsvine. Put him on your watchlist.

Glad you're back Dennis. I am questioning my voting this upcoming election time. I appreciate your input to the vine. I am relatively new and leaned conservative but now, not so much. I always read your posts and sometimes even learn from them. Thanks!
You have a calm and clarified voice, mixed with some humor...cheers to that. - Dubbya R

OK Dennis, I like you. I have had a good sniff round your column and like what I see. I accept your FR. You could be fun.xx
— Jo.XRN.
Great minds think alike! I just accepted your FR. I am leaving mine active to prove that I asked you too :)
Ooopps I sent my FR to a page that doesn't exist anymore. An old one of your's perhaps? The avatar looks like a map with an island that has a blurb attached.
Anyhoo, you look good in blue.— Mn Man
Greetings from "L'etoile du Nord";
I have greatly enjoyed your informative posts along with your perspective as an expat in Turkey. I hope you will do me the honor of accepting my Friend Request. Thank you.
Peace, Love and Baseball. Go Twins!

I hope your wry sense of humor made it back to NV along with the volatile passion that seems to have prompted your departure...☺
Good to have you back, Dennis.
