Edited for accuracy

I think that some people around here lack the most basic sense of humor.

skc we all understood that Daniel was just making a bit of fun and those were not your words, you seem the only one to be utterly unhappy with this.
I wonder if you were shaking your fist to the screen where you read Daniel's edit! :D :p

Another post about Daniel thinking he makes his own rules. Most people would see it as a joke, but when SKC asked and was obviously offended by it, it was disregarded. In usual form Daniel chose to challenge the rule of the moderator and dispute what he is and isn't allowed to do.

Maybe some people see humor in being able to follow something as simple as forum policy. I would think after a number of bannings it would sink in, but obviously not.

Personally I think if the conversation is light humoured between the two individuals then changing what they quoted is harmless if its consentual. In Skc's case in was during a heated debate and Daniel used it to degrade the opinion he was quoting. He might have seen it as a clever way to be sarcastic, but it backfired and the feelings of Skc were trampled over. Lets just grow up, and have abit more respect for each others opinions, and stop being smart Alec's. :)

Huh? Have you read the edited post? :confused: There was nothing degrading towards SKC in there. I said that Piquet had been slow pretty much all the way through his career and that although there was no firm evidence of Alonso's involvement you do wonder......

Nothing about SKC in there at all? Or am I wrong?

This was what I said about SKC :) It's amazing how people will read into things when they want to have a certain opinion :laugh:

You seem to forget the part where I apoligised multiple times to SKC for any offence he took :confused:

Your only issue with this thread is that I've posted it and not with the actual content which is quite funny. If anyone is not following the forum rules it is yourself by criticising the poster and not the post.

Now this thread will probably get closed soon enough buy is it possible to actually talk about editing posts and not about me? Your affection towards me is flattering but sadly unrequited.

No I'm not going to move on. You accused me of degrading skc's opinions. Proof or apology thanks :)

Regardless of intent I do think that quoting someone's comments, but editing the quote so that it changes what was actually said, is not really on. Why not quote the comments and make your point below?

As someone who has had their comments quoted, edited and used out of context I can see why it can be an issue.

<race affi>
Peace! :s mokin:

After disregarding his requests, and after intervention from a moderator. Essentially you made a less than convincing apology after the fact to save face.

I can elaborate more, but I'll start with one of your quotes:

Don't for a second think anyone here is stupid enough to not realize your intention in this post as another way to simply try to get your way and be allowed an exemption from forum rules. As much as you try to say you respect the opinions of others you are most often the first to engage in caustic responses that disregard the opinions of others, and as often as not violate forum rules.

Still playing victim I see. Not that it's been the first time.

It's amazing that the vast majority here can discuss and debate without degrading the opinions of others, while others can't seem to respond without insults, cheating the word filters, and in general violating the forum rules. Once again I'll suggest engaging in said discussion and debate in the manner you would prefer people to address you, and you won't find the responses so caustic or insulting. A lot of people on that thread in the F1 section had strong opposing views, yet all but one managed to do so without insulting others. You'll find that poster in a mirror.

Today's Dilbert comic reminded me so much of this thread! :D
