I know what the media does... part of that being able to think for myself thing because I can comprehend that they are doing it and why. It therefore cannot shape my mind into doing anything like storming the Capitol or looting businesses or attacking ICE agents or any of that shit morons fall for and then blame on Trump.

Incorrect, sparky. A verbatim quote doesn't allow you to mix up a bunch of words someone said, and simply put them between quotation marks.

You STILL don't get it, despite HOW many posts that have been made here with the rules of quoting?
If you don't undertand with the amount of exposure you've had to it here alone, you simply reinforce that your intellect is limited.

Ahhh I never claimed verbatim nor did I "mix up" a bunch of words. They are literally words you said and in the order you said them. What's the matter... is the context all fucked up because I left off words?

And yet when Fox tells you the election was stolen and that Trump is innocent of any and all charges brought on him, you fall in lock-step with the march and defend him endlessly.

How do you have the slightest clue what I think or do? See what I mean... right back to Trump being to blame.

Your *** can't even accept responsibility for losing money in the market. You had to blame someone else... guess who?

IF THE WORDS ARE IN BETWEEN QUOTATION MARKS, THEY MUST BE VERBATIM. YOU CANNOT JUST MIX AND MATCH WORDS AND CALL THEM A QUOTE.

IF YOU COULD DO THAT, THEN HERE IS A QUOTE OF WHAT TRUMP SAID: "I LIKE TO **** CHILDREN IN MY HELICOPTER".

Now tell me: Do you think that is REALLY a verbatim quote of something he said, or do you think it is a mix of words he said at different times, being falsely represented as a quote?

So you don't like it when words are left off of your quotes... Rules for thee but not for me. Got it.

You claim to have had a shop... there is a question in the forum. A guy wants to know what he needs to do to run 6Kw. If you have a moment.

Your poor comprehension strikes again: "And yet when Fox tells you".
Or do you think Trump is Fox or owns Fox? Maybe Trump tells Fox what to do, so if they tell you, then it's Trump telling you?

So you don't like it when words are left off of your quotes... Rules for thee but not for me. Got it.

If you're partying tonight, then I will tell you that it makes you appear very dumb.
if you're not partying, then you certainly must BE very dumb.

A 50 y.o. man should understand how quotes work. Especially one who claims to have gotten a college degree.

Most of my news comes from YouTube.
I don't care what the news has to say about Trump nor do I care what their opinions are of him. What I want him to do is the job of the president and to do it as best he can to what he said he will do.
I am not partying... I am enjoying razzing you.
Oh I understand and I dumbed it down so you get the point.

You "dumbed it down" by misquoting me?
So, you wanted to present yourself to us as someone who doesn't yet understand how quotes work? What a strange goal to shoot for.
Does it feel good to be considered dim?

Rob, do you think the major news outlets don't broadcast on YouTube? I don't watch TV.

The point Rob, you didn't like it when I posted something that made you look negatively by leaving off words from something you said. It would take no more time for you to select EVERYTHING I said when you quote it. Be it a single sentence or the whole post. That way no context is lost. Nobody looks a different way.

Dunno. I don't watch the news.

Incorrect yet again. You chose random words and put them together inside quotation marks, which is a misrpepresentation, just liek the Trump example I gave you.
Quotes do not work that way, or we could quote pretty much anyone as saying and admitting to the the most vile things imaginable.

I have never once misquoted you or fabricated a quote that you never posted here. You'll deny it, and I will challenge you to prove it.
What you posted that you claim is a quote of something I posted is a fabrication, and I proved it as such.
It wenbt somethign like this:

You think this: "that mystery guy using your name and site avatar probably your password" - RobGMN
is in some way a verbatim quote of this:
"Oh? Must have been that mystery guy using your name and site avatar.
You should probably change your password." ?

And then you complain that you get called out for posting things that make you seem unintelligent?

You know, for someone who likes to cry to the mods and talk about following the site rules whenever you get triggered, you sure do love to violate the rules as much as possible.
The hypocrisy is strong.

I chose YOUR words in the exact order YOU typed them. I left off words just like you do when you claim you quote me. You did it once in your sig and you continue to do it now. I don't care if the words YOU leave off are at the beginning, middle or end, you are still doing it. But you don't think it is an issue because you do whatever you want. If someone else does it to you, they are a piece of shit huh?

That was actually ThxOne. Literally his words:
View attachment 66400

Ironic that he cries about "unethical" reporting, then blatantly and obviously misquotes me here, just a few posts back.
Hypocritical behavior.

Is supporting someone who stokes hatred similarly immoral?

No it wasn't Thx. He didn't imply it that Fake News organizations were acting unethically, he clearly states it. When you engaged in the subject defending them and claiming that their actions are acceptable due to their profit motive, that to implies that you found their actions unethical.

Since you don't find their actions unethical, why are we even discussing profit as some sort of justification for what they do? Just say you don't take issue with their behaviors. Yet you seem to take exception with Fox lying about Dominion. Can you clarify exactly what your position is?
