I don't understand why you would want to "quote" something for reference in the first place. I hope that you realize that you can insert the "quote" tag and plug in any author, topic, message and date that you want, as well as the fact that you can make the quote say anything that you type. Please see my example below.
I am quoting this for reference so I have enough quotes for reference
Poop
TL;DR gmaxwell is a respected person in this community (and outside this community) and is correct to say that you are a moron.
Lol @ Fray..... Nothing to do with the thread but the fact that 2 brief sentences is too long for you to read is comical.
back on topic, i can see both points of view, and dont think either person handled the situation appropriately. I agree that gmaxwell is a good help in the community, but also agree that he might have had a momentary laps of judgment, which happens to the best of us and i wont hold it against him.
IMHO i think that both threads, this one and the original one that started the argument should be deleted and we can all be done with it. I think both parties owe each other an apology and it needs to be done.
