editor said that the guy disaproves of the room being named after him, which is contradicted by all of the articles he cites which say he doesn't even know about the room being named after him. That's what I was pointing out.
I'm not sure where you get from that to me arguing there's a difference between "express displeasure with" anf "disapprove of". Maybe you could explain?

Post 48: Editor quotes "express displeasure with".
Post 49: you say he "doesn't disapprove of".
There's hardly a yawning chasm of semantic difference between the two.

Right. But what I'm pointing out is that he isn't expressing displeasure with having a room named after him (because according to the same article, he doesn't know about having a room named after him), not that there is a difference between two phrases.
Do you only read the words you want to or something?

Paragraph 4 states he has not been told BY THE HOTEL about the room named after him.
Paragraph 5 states he has expressed his displeasure at having a room named after him.
Now, I'm no Sherlock Holmes. But it would appear to me that, maybe, somebody else told him about the room named after him.
This is really becoming reductio ad absurdam.

First line of the paragraph: "But Charlie has, at times, expressed his displeasure at the flophouse homage above him."
and out.
