"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.
Misquoting is against the forum rules and the way you came across is that you were claiming that orogenicman did it, that by the forum rules is something wrong, when clearly he wasn't. I think it qualifies as an accusation from where I'm standing. Nevertheless, I understand you meant no harm. I apologize for being blunt, but I did it for you to get a little of your own medicine. I guess I was being a dick, afterall.
Quote: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.
Your tone was a bit callous, yes. I hope my suggestions aren't completely dismissed, here what is to retain:
1- There is nothing in the forum rules that demand a user to add the PID to the quote header (the green arrow). All that is demanded is for the content and attribution of quotes to be accurate.
2- If you wish to advise users on the respect and consideration towards you, please make sure to clarify that it is towards you and not a general rule of the forum. Confusion in newer members can arise. Although you can remember other users of the forum rules and advise them if they are breaking (or about to break) them, all we ask is to please be accurate in doing so.
Either way, I'm not making a big deal out of it and hope you don't take to heart what I've said. In other words, chillax, I'm not mad nor do I want to become.
