kalakoa,
"...Obviously I'm naive to expect more of a "managing director"...."
No, you're not naive, though seemingly cynical. As exemplified by this false modesty. Thats okay, except you don't provide a factual basis for your perspective. Instead you rely on conjecture and assumptions, usually from a pessimistic viewpoint. Again, that's your privilege. However, I have a question about your (mis)use of quotation marks. I'll quote;
"The primary function of quotation marks is to set off and represent exact language (either spoken or written) that has come from somebody else."
Earlier on this thread, pg. 1, on 6-22, you referred to Mr. Lau as to whether he "should have known" about some alleged transgressions (and Punatic007 chimes in just above on same). You placed that in quotes, suggesting someone else said it and you are repeating it, exactly. That's the function of using them, to let the reader know that you are (accurately) quoting another person. I can't find in this thread where anyone said that. I know it's your opinion based on other posts (that's the conjecture you practice that I refer to above). This caught my eye when I saw your post today when you wrote;
"...if Mr Lau claims he "had no idea"....." and I went in search of where Mr. Lau said " I had no idea", or where someone in this thread wrote something to the effect that " I spoke with Wally and he said he had no idea". So, kalakoa, did I miss these quotes of things that were actually written or said, in this thread ? If not here, where?
Otherwise I'll have to assume that your use of quotation marks is to add the appearance of something that was said by another but is not truly the case, as if by doing that it would be more believable to the gullible. Which is why I write above that I haven't seen you provide a factual basis for your opinions and that you generally rely on assumptions, apparently to reaffirm your own worldview.
In regards to you, Punatic007, and all others who believe that the County was embezzled by Billy Kenoi and that he committed crimes while in office, you remind me of the wing nut Republicans with their Behgazhi/private server witch hunt of HRC. And, I'll presume like them, when the findings are laid out in a complete and objective manner, you'll cry foul and add another figment of fiction to your conspiracy theories. It's cool, your life, your reality. Just don't confuse yourselves with rational, fair minded citizens of the County who are engaged in the process and know the individuals that you so easily besmirch or slander.
