Yes maim, I do realize that. However, I can only see the world and write as an American. I am primarily concerned with America, purportedly the world leader in freedom, and yet, from what I see, Americans do not possess reflective ontological freedom; if they did, they could in fact lead the world in freedom. Nonetheless, I am critiquing universal considerations regarding law. Thank you Mathilda. Duane C.

But if God existed then he would be bigger than America. And your argument fails for me because I am (thankfully) not an American myself. Also America is not a world leader in freedom by any means. Also you cannot critique universal considerations regarding law if you are only quoting American law.Thank you Duane C.

Why are you doing this to us

You know why I’m editing by now
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

It's pretty straightforward. Unix based systems use different whitespace characters (the invisible ones like new line, tab, etc) Doesn't usually cause a problem until time comes to copy and paste. Or some other rather specialised circumstances not relevant here.

Well if we all quote the way he does then it becomes far more legible and he loses any trolling advantage.

His posts will also be truncated by the forum which will likely annoy him further. Nothing we can do about that.

Right... does that also count for Linux? I do use that occasionally, but I can't say I've ever seen this problem. So it's a bit of a WIFOM for me whether this is deliberate trolling or something like you suggest, but either way, he's not responding to advice, so it seems a waste of time.

Yes, Linux and Unix are the same in this regard.
Can't remember the last time I used a Non-Linux Unix actually. 1998?

I've lost track of the flavours of unix out there.
It does occur to me that there is a rule here against disruptive formatting...
