My mistake. The "quote" was originally a reponse from me, based on what you said. Corrected.

So let's review. First you accused me of posting a "deliberately inflammatory and made up title". Then you misquoted me. When I pointed out that you misquoted me, you replied with the following: "I copied and pasted exactly what you wrote, liar." Then you deleted that reply, and posted this: "Actually you're correct on this. The "quote" was originally a response from me, based on what you said." Then you edited that reply and it now reads: "My mistake. The "quote" was originally a reponse from me, based on what you said. Corrected." There may have been other edits that I missed. But I guess we're back to the concept expressed in my original response.

  So let's review: You're dredging up and arguing about something I deleted within seconds - to even see it, let alone be able to quote it, you must either have access to edits or being reloading your comments page every second and copying the replies before they changed. (Something you didn't bother to do with this story.) Did you notice that when your false and inflammatory title was corrected, I edited my post to remove the complaint about it? Perhaps after ten years here you still have something to learn. > First you accused me of posting a "deliberately inflammatory and made up title". Because you did. And I wasn't the only person to remark about it. > Then you misquoted me. No, I made a reply in kind - posting back at you what you threw at me - and then edited my post to turn it from less argumentative to simply a quote and forgot to remove three letters from it. Big deal. When you complained about being "misquoted" (which you weren't, there was simply an extra word which did not change the meaning of what you said), the "misquoting" was so difficult to see I at first claimed you were lying, since it looked exactly what you had posted. I then noticed there was, accidentally, a single three letter word difference, and deleted my comment, admitted my mistake and removed the three letters which did not change the meaning of what you said anyway. Instead of accepting that you drag up a lot of DELETED material purely in order to continuing arguing about it. Perhaps you can explain why you are doing that? > There may have been other edits that I missed. Missed? You're quoting multiple edits which changed within seconds. There's no way you can have naturally got every edit that you quoted without reloading the page literally every second (which makes no sense) and copying the edits into a notepad, or simply having admin access to the edits, either directly or indirectly, which may also explain how your post got to the front page within 5 minutes with a mere 5 votes. > Content published online is subject to change over time without an entirely clear record of what gets changed, and when it's changed. Then you should probably do your best to make sure when posting inflammatory titles that they are accurate.
