Rumsfield claims a trained ape could manage war better than Obama

On review, I find this:

@C_K_Dexter_Haven

Falsely attributing a quote to another user, or modifying another’s post in order to cast him/her in a bad light, even if meant in jest, is grounds for revocation of your posting privileges.

This does not apply to parodies to which no name is attached.

Text inside “QUOTE” tags is sacrosanct. Normal editorial rules apply: that is, you may indicate omitted portions of a quote by the use of ellipses “…” and you may add text to clarify a word using square brackets (e.g., “her [the sister’s] friend”), but you may not add editorial comments or edit a quote so as to change the substantive meaning; nor may you substitute text such as “some blather” or “more nonsense” inside the “QUOTE” tags.

I found the formatting didn’t lend itself to easy use of copy-paste quoting, hence some square brackets modified to actual quote symbols which despite being something I find a tad amusing, I trust does not qualify as a malicious modification.

That sentence in the middle is kind of Second-Amendmenty in that it’s unclear if the post has to be a parody or if the specific lack of attaching a name is what matters.

I acknowledge that this is likely not the best place for such an inquiry and won’t mention it again in this thread pending indication that is considered appropriate to do so.
