Why put quotes if you're not quoting what I said? You are suggesting that your modified text is what is on my profile and it's not.

- BoorishBears 9y agoQuotes can have multiple meanings, some of which oppose each other. Generally one is expected to use context clues to disseminate which meaning is most relevant to a given sample of text. In this case they were to indicate a somewhat mocking tone in my paraphrasing. The exact quote actually managed to be more condescending than that: > Commentors with novelty usernames should not expect responses. On a totally unrelated note, you sound like a wonderfully pleasant person to interact with. I am deeply saddened those of us with "novelty usernames" might miss out on that.
