I don't believe anyone here who has kept up with the thread could mistake who I was quoting. It is not my job to keep others in the loop. And for the record, I've posted quotes from others exactly as I did above since I became a member, and you are the first person who has ever complained.
Cool your jets partner, I'm not complaining. What I said was, that IF you ever quote me I would appreciate the respect of also including the link to my quote. It was a simple request, asked respectfully. Thank you.

ac·cu·sa·tion

(noun)
"a charge or claim that someone has done something illegal or wrong."
I made no accusations. I made a firm, respectfully worded, suggestion of my own regarding ever being quoted by another member. If people choose not to properly respect specifically requested behaviors as they may pertain toward me, then I cannot prevent that. I asked for consideration and respect, that is all. If my direct tone seems callous then you may address that, but please, again being polite, I ask you not to make accusations regarding accusations I have not made.
But since it wasn't you I was quoting, why single me out? Why didn't you simply request it of everyone?

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
