I am. The fact that I am entertaining your bullshit proves it.

It is what it is. I get that.
However, I will voice my opinions as to what I believe actually happened if I want to, because I CAN. 

It is there for anyone to see this all started because you misquoted someone, the staff eliminated the bad quote, and this biching about the staff being biased, began. IMO its an unfair accusation. Put up or shut the fuck up, in plain english.

That shouldn't be too hard to do, should it?

You would have to realize, that perhaps you think I have power I do not. Great rebel you are. In any moment I threathened with staff action. An apologies from you keyboard rebels would suffice. I already told my fellow staff members that I would remove myself from voting anything regarding both of you. Done so yesterday.

So you don't have to fear me. An apology would be nice, since you just accuse and dont back ot up, but only from Thump. You are unable to do so.

For future reference: You should be prepared to "put up" by actually producing the rule that's been violated.
Just sayin'. 

So, you've removed yourself from voting in matters regarding me. Okay. Wow. Seems to more indicative of your penchant for melodrama than anything else, but whatever. If you care to send me your address, I'll be glad to send you some cookies. But, you shan't be getting an apology from this "keyboard rebel". I won't apologize for stating what I believe is indicated to be true.

That shouldn't be anything a warm bottle and nice nap can't help you overcome though.

BTW: Incidentally, I have apologized to members of the forum, Drich included. It's been well-demonstrated that I have no problem issuing an apology when it's warranted.

Quote:Quoting Others Inaccurately
When quoting another member of the forums, whether using quote tags or putting quotes between quotation marks, members may quote them in whole or in part, but may not change the quoted text by adding, modifying, or deleting words. An exception to this rule is where the member is paraphrasing, provided that the paraphrased quote does not change the meaning of the original quote, or takes the quote out of its original context. 

Adding formatting for purposes of clarification or highlighting (e.g. making certain words bold, adding reference numbers, etc.) is allowed, provided that the member indicates that the additions are their own and not in the original quote, and provided that the formatting does not change the meaning of the quoted text. 

Changing quoted text for the purpose of parody is allowed, provided that the parody is clear to members. In the case of ambiguity, staff will err on the side of preserving the author's original words rather than preserving a member's artistic license.

Not sure how any of this applies to me. I didn't change, add, modify, or delete any of Shell's post.
I just quoted it.

Thanks anyhow, Losty.

You already posted the rule you violated and though you insist on pretending like you didn't add anything, you still did add back the part that was edited out. This is considered a violation of the rule whether you agree with it or not.

It would be rather foolish at this point. Still waiting to hear your reasoning to call staff bias. The reason being you can't. You just say it. Its value shows for itself.

As I've already told you, I haven't called staff bias. Are you being intentionally obtuse, or is this your baseline state of mind?

I actually can't imagine any thread being less conducive to the act....other than your Yoga thread, of course.

I know that's supposed to be a jab at my looks, but come on. It's a nice try. Low blow, but a nice try. Still, being so ugly no one can fap to me is definitely not one of my shortcomings.

Thump, my comment about you not posting was because you wouldn't reply to me anymore. It lasted like half a minute. I mean, come on. At what point do you realize you do the very things you piss and moan about.

I did not add to, delete, modify, or change any of the content or her original post. Not a single word. 
And I actually made it a point to post BOTH the original and unedited posts, in an effort to be fair.

What you're claiming is that I "added" to her words, by quoting nothing but her precise words. That's clearly playing fast and loose with the rules Losty; you're smart enough to know that. It is NOT misquoting someone to print/repeat someone's EXACT WORDS, regardless of the subject later deciding to change his/her tune. That is the truth, despite your insistence otherwise.

Now of course, the staff's deeply questionable interpretation of the rules as they apply to the so-called violation is the only one that matters, certainly. But, the capturing and quoting of posts that are later edited happens frequently enough in this place, with no concern and no action taken; The general consensus appearing to be that there's no reason to expect that a respondent should bear any responsibility in a poster's decision to backpeddle, mislead, or even simply edit misinformation/grammar, once it lands on the Main Forum. 
 
"Too bad, so sad" certainly seems to be good enough for any other user around here.

The fact that I knew the post had been edited shouldn't even enter into the equation. As far as I know, there's nothing in the rules disallowing the employment of stealth or "sneakiness". 
She posted it, and it showed up on the Main Forum, right and proper, fair and square.

I COULD suggest that staff add a rule that specifically forbids the practice of simply quoting posts which have been edited, because there's nothing about that in the rules either. And, we all know that could stand to get rather messy.

With all that being said, I do accept the decision at it stands. I don't make the rules. But, I retain the right to say that the application of the rule in question reeks of "special" consideration geared towards Mrs. Tiberius. 

I can live with that. The staff should be able to, as well.

Uh-huh. Even as I hadn't posted in quite some time, you and LP drag my name back into it, but somehow this is something I did.

Look, if you want to talk shit about me, go ahead. You've done it before, slagging me even in entirely unrelated threads after I've walked away from one of your Shitfests™. At this point, I'm tired of this horseshit and especially of you and your tiresome presence ... but if you want to talk shit, you can do it in PM, or perhaps get a response from me. Your horse, ride it as you wish.

But face it, it wasn't me lugging you around in my head, and that says a lot about you whether you acknowledge that or not.

Family's coming back from Elgin after my day at work, so please forgive me if I don't hop-to when you reply.

Hey, it wasn't me who said he wasn't going to respond anymore and then came back pretty fast. Heck, I thought you'd hold out even longer.

I'll talk shit wherever I like, thanks. I prefer to do it here. The thought of talking to you privately gives me the icks.
