But that would be too much to ask of a cat whisperer. ---

well if that statement offended I apologize. But seriously statements should be taken into context and not spliced to prove a point. I’m pretty sure it’s one of the rules of the Pit. "Quoting: do not alter words within quote tags beyond fair usage standards Do not change quotes of other posters or off-board citations beyond fair usage standards. If you delete material, use either ellipses or descriptive tags (e.g., \, [material deleted], etc.) to indicate you’ve done so. To add non-editorial explanatory material, use square brackets, which means things like [sic] or replacing a pronoun to make a partial quote clearer. If you add formatting for emphasis, please indicate you’ve done so, either in square brackets within the quote or immediately after the quote. Quote tags are for actual quotes only - don’t use them to paraphrase another’s argument or make a joke." ---

> [@Muffin](#): > > Rotflmao! You might want to have a look at what you wrote in post 70. what exactly did i do? I made a serious statement of thanks, and as an edit and joke I added the vulgar remark you hated, also a link to Better off Ted Vulgar Edition of an episode where the workers are told to disparage other workers from a typo from a secretary. The memo should have written NOT to insult, but she typed NOW must insult. ---

A misogynistic statement by someone complaining about racism. That’s rather rich. That it has to be spelled out to you is both sad and amusing at the same time. Then there’s the lesser problem of your odd application of pit rules concerning quotations following your ignoring pit rules in your original statement. Synapses misfiring, are they? ---

what rule am i breaking? I seriously don’t know. A sincere statement, wanted to add a joke in to keep it “pit filth level”, added a link to something humourous to try and bring some more funny. ---

Capitalization. Yup, that’s it. Capitalization. At least you never called anyone a petunia or a snugglepuppy. ---

> [@Muffin](#): > > Capitalization. Yup, that’s it. Capitalization. > > At least you never called anyone a petunia. seriously, please explain the rule or rules I am breaking without the comedy. I can’t see what I did wrong within the Pit rules. It’s obvious that you do and refuse to give me the heads up. I’ll even apologize for the misunderstanding if there was one, but i’ll need to know what is wrong in the first place. ---

> [@Muffin](#): > > Thanks for providing an example of how “you misspeak when typing.” one word is not a complete idea. and also i wasn’t given 5 hours to respond to something, i responded fast and without thought, just like in a conversation, the dreaded time stamps example. ---
