We are linking to your posts. We are not misquoting you when we are linking to your word-for-word posts. Misquoting would be posting words you never posted. Since we are linking to your posts, without changing the posts, we are not misquoting you. Nor are we misleading - we are linking to your own posts, without changing them, and then discussing the implications of those posts. We are also not falsely accusing you - we are linking to your own posts, without changing those posts, and then discussing the (rather obvious) implications of those posts.

You said this:

> [@Anyone following the Casey Anthony trial?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/anyone-following-the-casey-anthony-trial/583652/173):
>
> George owns the swimming pool, it is Georges responsibility to keep it safe from children getting drowned.
> 
> It is George who is responsible to keeping the fence around the pool and the gate closed around the swimming pool.

> It is George’s responsibility to make sure the ladder is taken down so no child can climb up and get into the pool.

It certainly is true that you do not come out and say, in this post, that George allowed Caylee to drown. But you STRONGLY implied it.

In addition, here is the quote that **Leaffan** took word for word from another post by you:

> [@](#):
>
> When George found Caylee, he knew from experience that resuscitation would not do one bit of good.

The implication of that post is that you believe that Caylee drowned, George found her, and since Caylee was in George’s care at the time, George’s negligence allowed Caylee to drown.

One does not have to spell out an accusation in so many words to clearly communicate the accusation.

I’m using the words correctly.

> [@Susanann](#):
>
> 1. You are not debating or trying to understand the topic, you are trying to make accusations and argue about people who post. If you want to talk about me, then join my fan club, or take it elsewhere.

I am pointing out that your statements earlier in this thread contradict many statements that you’ve made elsewhere about this same topic. By posting opinions on a public message board, you’ve tacitly consented to participate in a discussion not only of the topic but also of your opinions regarding that topic. That is actually the purpose of a public message board. You don’t get to dictate the course that a discussion takes.

> [@Susanann](#):
>
> 1. I have ALWAYS!!! made it perfectly clear from the beginning of the trial, that I have no idea how or when Caylee died, and apparently , the jury agrees with me. Your motives are illegitimate and a violation to try to suggest that I know how Caylee died.

You have implied, strongly, in numerous posts, that you believe Caylee drowned under George’s care. Such as in this post:

> [@Susanann](#):
>
> " George had the expertise to cover it up (being a retired LEO) and that he had motive for covering it up - since he was babysitting the child and didn’t have a fence or cage installed around the pool " … or left the ladder up, or left the sliding door unlocked, or left Caylee unattended, or had a very long extensive history of burying dead things in plastic bags and duct tape, was the owner of the duct tape, was seen with the duct tape, etc. etc, etc,
> 
> Draw your own conclusions.

If this is not an implication your part that George’s negligence allowed Caylee to drown while under his care and that he then attempted to cover up this death, I don’t know what is.

ONCE AGAIN, please list the ACTUAL EVIDENCE implicating George in the death of Caylee.
