[split] I Think I May Have Come Close to Dying Friday Night
RE: [split] I Think I May Have Come Close to Dying Friday Night

No favouritism, no bias, no pleasured donkeys. I could and would have done the same thing myself had I been fit for duty at the time.

Yes. I became aware of the fact that Tiberius was the one who modified my post shortly after the change occurred.
I've mentioned this a few times before: Would you believe that repeating or printing someone's EXACT WORDS, despite their decision to retract them at a later time, is not misquoting? By definition, is simply is NOT. 

And, that in regards to the Forum Rules, I did not add to, change, delete, modify, or alter either of her posts in any fashion, whatsoever. I simply posted both texts in their entirety; The original one, which I'd already started composing a response to prior to it being edited, and the edited version. 

With all of that being said, how do you FAIRLY arrive at the conclusion that an actual rule violation occurred on my part? Also, how exactly were you able to ascertain that Mr. Tiberius' decision to modify a post containing his wife's quotes, involved absolutely no bias?

On some level, I can easily understand why he would be motivated to edit his wife's post. Plus, it's his forum. I get that. But, it's clear enough that the modification was done, and THEN the "justification" for deeming me a rule-violator was sloppily and dishonestly built around it. 

A "Fuck you, Thena. This is my forum, and you're not going my trash my wife like that." could have sufficed, as opposed to watching Staff members dance around the the ACTUAL rules in a fairly sleazy attempt to somehow MAKE my actions fit the definition of misquoting, when they clearly don't. 

Though I'm clearly of the opinion that Mrs. Tibs had it coming to her, I actually would've respected that.
