He cut out a lot of the colloquial spellings awhile ago after beong asked to, but he hangs onto a few. ---

I wonder if that’s around the time he decided that he was going to indicate he was quoting material by highlighting it all and clicking on the _italicize_ button instead of the handy block quote button like a normal person would, and he had up to that point. Seems on par for his maturity to sublimate his frustration in such a passive-aggressive fashion. ---

Gods, if I were a mod, he’d already be banned just for his quoting/citing behaviour. Posting entire paragraphs from Wikipedia without any attribution, forcing one to click one of the numbered footnotes (if lucky enough to have them) to find out which page he was actually doing a C&P dump from. Remember, though, “a Book as a cite is not the best” said esteemed academic [DrDeth](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/will-there-ever-be-a-time-without-capitalism-and-what-would-it-look-like/992862/162). ---

We’re still talking in the modloop. ETA: It will be a 30 day suspension, my announcement will be up by 10am Eastern Time. I’m a shit writer as many (most) of you know and asked someone in the modloop to please review before I move it to ATMB. ---

So, they’ll get their vacation, and then we’ll see episode 2 of gradual tiptoeing back over the line. And then, after months, the banning they deserve. 🤷‍♂️ ---

Yes, but when I wrote the first line, it wasn’t decided yet. I edited in the next two lines later. Now I just edited in ETA like I should have to start. ---
