[QUOTE=Muffin] I’m feeling pretty dumb. I just can’t figure it out. Quote, advanced or quick reply, it still insists on at least two characters, and spaces don’t count. [/QUOTE] Don’t close the quote. ---

they’re using the color “white” for their post, you can’t see it 'cause the background is white. use color tag , choose white , write some stuff, close color tag, post, et voila, nothing is seen. ---

Obviously, this thread has run its course and people are just acting silly. Which I strongly disapprove of. Thread closed. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-the-hell-wasnt-i-banned/396191.md?page=8)
