:help:"... I skimmed his message, not the quote...." Means I skimmed the message, I didn`t skim the quote, I read it. Thus what I said is consistent and does not support your view.
As for the way it is.

"ix) When quoting a very long post in any thread, please do your best to edit it down to a manageable length. Many times, quotes take up more space than the actual reply. Not only does this create board clutter, but you will lose the interest of the reader before he even gets to your reply. When quoting a post directly above your reply, it is sufficient to include only the first line or two as to indicate exactly who you are replying to. This is useful in cases when another post is made while you are composing your own and places your own post out of sequence. "
I guess there is no reason to discuss it further because when you combine your willingness to delete parts of messages that are actually specifically allowed by the posted rules, and you are willing to rudely dismiss those who object, there really is no point discussing it further.
You have at some point made your mind to enforce some pendandic little detail that the heavily moderated forums I`ve been on including officially the Fred Zed collection of forums don`t have a problem with. It is obvious that anyone who disagrees is to be mocked and can go fornicate themselves.
Go on about making 20 and 30 edits a night to enforce your own personal rules because changing this
to
Hey buddy WHALUPEWHALUPEWHALUPEWHALUPE
will keep us safe from the zombie nazis, cure cancer and prevent the collapse of western civilization.
So if you want to waste your time enforcing some minor pedantic little difference, have at it. Enjoy.
It ain`t my board at the end of the day.
I`ve said all I need to say on the matter and feel I`ve been heard... utterly and unfairly dismissed but heard.
Speaking of Nazi Zombies, here is something from collagehumour.

Hey sweetwater, I tried filing in a complaint but it won't work:
All right, now we get accusations of editing stuff out... Whaisname, you're on a very slippery road...
I won't even bother addressing this issue, it's not worth the time or effort...
I think we all had enough at this point, I certainly did.
So, here you go, you're being censored, if I take your point of view. Other people will understand this isn't censorship, it's only a way to end a monologue where you repeat the same thing over and over, and are starting to add false/unproven accusations to the mix, since you can't find new facts to justify your position.
Thread closed.
Thanks
