Sorry, svelte. Nobody hates his drivel more than I do, and his posting style is clearly designed for maximum obnoxiousness. He’s obviously a troll, and I’ve been trying more recently to just ignore him, but want to make sure that misinformation isn’t spread.
The reason I post whole quotes (from any poster) almost 100% of the time is because I’ve had a poster (Pri/harvey) regularly cherry pick certain sentences or phrases from my posts, then include his own text as though they were my posts in order to make it look like I’ve said something that I never actually said or even implied. I’ve seen this done on other message boards, too; not just to my posts, but with other people’s posts. As you know, context is everything, so including the quote that one is responding to is important to me. For this reason, I prefer to include entire posts so that anyone whose reading will know exactly the context of what was originally written.
Realize that my last post on this thread was from November 29th. I ignored his most recent post because I’m trying desperately not to feed the trolls.
That being said, I fully understand if you want to “ignore” me, if that’s what you feel is necessary to maintain some mental peace. I won’t take it personally.
Hope you and your family have a happy, healthy 2017! 🙂
