Kerosene and a match (must be Ohio Blue Tip, since us conservative Repugs would _never dream_ of using something so _new_ as a Bic). Gets rid of those pesky orphans and busses within minutes. That _is_, after all, the conservative solution. Or so this message board tells me. ---

Well you have posted in this thread that you are trolling, bob, so I’m not going to take you seriously. ---

I honestly haven’t figured it out yet myself, and my husband is lousy at explaining things, so he just made the confusion worse. In the lower right hand corner of each post, there are 3 Quote symbols. The middle one with the quotation marks and the + symbol is the multiquote button. Click on that for every thread you want to multiquote. And don’t disturb any of the posts that were already there before yours came along late. ---

I honestly haven’t figured it out yet myself, and my husband is lousy at explaining things, so he just made the confusion worse. You know the button you click to quote a post? Move one to the right. Click. Repeat for every post you want to quote. Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Post Reply. The Quick Reply won’t work for this. And sorry, CCL but you don’t get to bitch about other people neglecting the social niceties when you neglect them yourself. At least, not if you want my sympathy. ---

This thread is like Troll City. **Seanette** , there are three buttons in the lower right-hand side of each post. One says Quote. The next one over has a set of quotation marks on it, and the last one just has an icon of a piece of paper and a quill. Click the button that has the quotation marks on it, for each post you want to quote. The button will highlight red to indicate that that post has been selected. Then click the big Quote button (the left-most of the three buttons on a post) for the final post you want to quote. It will bring up a reply box with all of the selected posts in it, in quote format. I hope this explanation makes sense. ---

> [@l1I235](#): > > Ok, I am going to make up some more stats, with nothing to back them up, other than my opinion. Oh wait, that’s your job, Raftpeople. Sorry. Nobody in this thread has even admitted to ever seeing a conflict like the one in the OP whereas many (like myself) have witnessed or been part of the same situation with no conflict. How is that possible if your “refuse to move” opinion is in the majority? ---

That is not really evidence of anything at all. As many previous posters have noted of themselves, many of those who would move elect do so purely to defuse conflict and are privately somewhat peeved at the audacity of the request. ---

I will make it easy for you. Look up faithfool’s posts. You see, faithfool calculated the responses that were for me, vs those that will against me. There were were more posts that agree with what I did, you see? You can always look it up to see if the tide has turned. Being it is the same handful of big and bad posters who return and return to beat their chests, vs. one time posters who agreed with me, I kind of doubt it. Make sense now? Ok, thanks.
