You quoted an edited post, then also quoted the un-edited version of a post, which clearly shows that you were trying to impose a meaning that the author of the post obviously didn't intend. If you had just posted the un-edited version because you grabbed it before Shell edited it, then it would be just like all of the other times that happens on this forum, and no one would have batted an eye.
Trying to impose a meaning that an author didn't intend, using nothing but the author's their own words? I would disagree, but that hardly matters.
I don't actually see any "imposing meaning" clause in the Quoting Inaccurately rules.
If you want to say I did something a bit sneaky or underhanded, I wouldn't argue about it. But, the Quoting Inaccurately rules don't specifically speak to what I did.

I just quoted it.
Thanks anyhow, Losty.
You did add something, though. What you added may have been a part of the pre-edited post but seeing as all users have a right to edit their posts it still counts as adding something that's not in the post.
This supposed "rule violation" sounds like me bullcaca to me.
But it's not my forum, so oh well. You can't fight City Hall.
Thanks.
