Can you guys analyse and refute this:

Why don’t you tell us what you think about it first. That’s generally the way things go around here.
Let’s let the people on the other boards where you’ve posted this analyze it for you:

IOW reported
My analysis is that it’s poorly written and as for refutation, it’s too poorly written for me to figure out what about it, if anything, needs to be refuted.
Reported for what? For asking for help?
That is why I am asking you guys to help me understand the meaning of the quote and if there is any truth to the quote.
Also, can someone explain why you think that it is badly written?
Is that your quote or someone else’s?
I agree that the writer has probably died a little inside, repeatedly. This seems to have made him/her grumpy and inclined to ramble.
I have used quote marks and as long as you use quote marks, it is ok.
Are you saying it is from someone else? That’s what I’m trying to clear up, if you are the author or not. If you are not the author then who is? That will tell us something about it. If it’s not yours then give us your take on it.
No, using quote marks does not make it OK. Crediting the source might, depending on how much you quoted and what the purpose is.
My purpose is to be able to understand the meaning of the quote because the creator (Zodiac) seems like a very hard person to understand but he or she has confessed in the past that they have degrees in Linguistics, Philosophy and Anthropology. Also according to a website, as long as you put quote marks then it is ok. Also you guys are the first to point it out.
Are you Zodiac?
Good catch. I can’t believe I didn’t see enough red flags to do a bit of search myself!
All I ever did was ask you guys for advice with help on understanding and analysing the quote at hand and all I ever got on this site was ‘I am reporting you’ or is it your essay etc.
I even used quote marks so what is the problem? No other forum would start drama
I will not be using this site in future if this is how you guys treat people.
It’s definitely not for everyone.
Aw.
Oh, this is just a little critical preamble, sort of trying to get a clue what the quote’s purpose is supposed to be. The shredding hasn’t started.
Of course it’s difficult to disagree with something that has no conclusion. It’s like someone sitting on a porch chair, insulting the kids walking by, but not even bothering to say “stay off my lawn!”
Is the whole OP minus the first sentence a quote? I can’t find a closing quote, so I’m assuming it goes at the end? Or was it missed farther back?
Or maybe you have a life.
