That counts? All he's done is choose which part to quote. We do that on a daily basis when conversing on here.

He's edited out part of a quote to deliberately change the meaning and intention of the original post.

Completely different to highlighting a specific point or part of a post for discussion.

Boooo-ring.

People quote people out of context on here all of the time. I doubt b-dos really said he wanted to see a male erection.

 

[butchmcdick]

If b-dos never complained it may have slipped under the radar. After a while it can also become tough to find the original post.

just click this button next to the name and voila..

or there's always the search function.. you can search the words + by exact user name and you'll be able to find it in a second..


i'm so friendly & helpful.. i should be a mod..

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

The button isn't always there. It can be edited out.

 

[muzby]

why would a mod do that?

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

why would a mod do that?

The mod wouldn't. The person quoting the post might.

 

[muzby]

but why would someone do that?

it just removes clarity and honesty..

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

Don't know specifically why people do it.

I suspect that part of it is because they don't want people to link back to the OP.

Happens though.

If they type the quote tag manually or copy paste the text, the icon wont show up. Its not intentional.

 

[Twizzle]

It happens when people type in the persons name to quote them manually, rather then just click on the quote icon.
