Jon,You're doing more flip flops than an acrobat.People are trying to respond to your posts, but you seem oblivious as to why they are responding in the manner that they are.Your lack of focus is causing tension in this thread and you don't seem to be addressing their points.Jon, I suggest that you make a post that clearly states your position concerning what was addressed in Message 1.Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.

That's enough. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill.

He does not get to say "I meant murder" when he's attributing a quote to someone else. That's not how quoting works.

Quoting means to repeat or reproduce the exact words of another. When doing that here at EvC we usually use the quote boxes, but some use the quotation marks. Message 292, by Jon, is not a reply to any specific post and the statement in question is not in quote boxes or quotation marks and is not attributed to anyone specific. Having read through that thread I saw several posts that could lead Jon to paraphrase as he did. Only one of them was yours.In Message 143 of that same thread you suggested: I think that is what he was doing in message 292, but you chose to ignore that part of the post.This thread is almost done and I strongly suggest that you and all participants let go of the misunderstandings and address actual positions as they have been recently clarified.If you can't, I will close the thread early since the original intent of the thread has actually been resolved.Please direct any comments concerning this Admin msg to the Moderation Thread.
