**Honesty** , if you still are reading these threads, try not to let these people get to you. These threads are all just selective quoting games. Whether it’s your last post or an article offered as a cite, “victory” and “defeat”, a tactical “loss” or “win” is just a poorly-worded-sentence or too-many-lines-quoted-from-a-cite away. Look at **DSeid** ’s last post as an example. Look at his quotes. Look at the actual article he quoted from. It’s a selective quoting extravaganza. The extra spice is the statement that the “scientific community…” blah blah blah. It’s just a bullshit posting formula that 90% of the debaters here follow. Don’t fall for it and don’t participate in the sidetracks introduced by other posters. Learn to separate the wheat from the chaff. ---

> [@Honesty](#): > > **Dissonance** , fuck you for making me this angry and fuck you for misquoting me and fuck you implying I think Israel was responsible for Arafat’s death. That was never my position and you damn well know it. Next time, have the decency and honesty to quote someone in full rather than peeling off the first and last sentences of my paragraph and packing that as my viewpoint in full. Finally, fuck you for trolling my thread. From the beginning, you insufferable twit, you didn’t add one iota of analysis, no cites, no nothing - just unabashed and unmitigated trolling. On the bright side, your name is apt, so at least you have something going for you. _yawn_ You’re the only one who makes you this angry, you’re the one who implied Israel was responsible for Arafat’s death, I did nothing remotely dishonest in quoting _exactly what you actually said_, I have done nothing to troll you or this thread in taking you to task for what you actually said, and it is quite sad that you continue to insist I misquoted you. I didn’t. Do as I advised, consult a dictionary and read the definition of the word misquote. You might want to look up the definition of trolling as well, since that’s a word you keep misusing. > [@Honesty](#): > > **tomndebb** , fuck you taking sides without reading the goddamned thread, making a cheapshot about my grammar, and not banning/deleting my account when I personally asked/emailed you to. I want out of this message board, delete/remove/ban my account _now_. I’ve never understood this behavior. If you want out of this message board, stop posting here and reading it. Leaving a message board does not require having a mod ban or delete your account. It just requires you to not go there and read it anymore. Take some personal responsibility for your own actions. ---

This thread no longer serves a purpose. Honesty, you are, of course, welcome to stay and participate in threads as you choose. But we’re no going to ban/remove your account at your command. I certainly wish you well in the future and hope to see you again here at the SDMB.
