You find out who your friends are when push comes to shove. I subscribe to "Live and let live" and "Treat others how you would like to be treated."

However, unless you believe, as a reporter stated recently in one of the forums, that “Digitals are the gum beneath my shoe," you're perceived as the enemy. Some reporters also apparently have an issue with me (which I learned from fair-minded friends) because I do not share their pathological hatred for digitals and others in the business, to include voice reporters and “reporter flunkies,” a perjorative that a reporter used instead of “scopists.” Thus my acceptance of the fact that digitals exist is used by some to lend credence to the rumor that I train them. Patricia corrected the record in a thread on my page when someone else brought up the rumor. Falls, veteran steno and mother of a soon-to-be one, which is now The Court Reporting Academy.

That is a vicious, slanderous rumor that continues to be shared in reporter circles. No, I do not actively advocate for digital reporting. Aren't you an advocate for digital reporting? While I'm glad to hear you talk about respect for the record and not thinking that reporters should rely on their audio - of which I would agree - aren't you advocating that the entire record/transcript can be adequately produced from a mere audio recording? In order to correct the record once and for all, I shared the following in Court Reporters of Facebook, Court Reporters Vent Here, and Court Reporters Vent Uncensored. After a recent post, I received a question from, and responded to, Isaiah Paul Roberts, a certified steno who is a Facebook friend. As an Eclipse scopist, I occasionally share PSAs on my Facebook page on various subjects that arise from my experiences in this business.
