As you should know, a quote is verbatim. I'm not trying to be your English teacher here, but you can't take words written and combine them to make a new sentence. That's dishonest.

Number 3.

Air quotes designate that what you’re saying should not be taken at face value. You are being sarcastic or lying outright. In your writing, they’re used in the same way.

Now get the fuck off my lawn.

I'll try to simplify it for you. When quoting multiple sentences to convey a fluid recapitulation, use from this:

Example:

>"Crensch knocked the fan over and it fell on a pile of shit. Shit was flung all over the place. Some of it landed on his head".

Proper method:

>"Crensch"..... [got] "shit"..... "on his head".

See, this is a proper method of quoting someone. Otherwise, blending sentences can easily change the meaning.

Now, your other statement:

>".... get the fuck off my lawn."

should be more properly "Please sir, can you get off of my lawn?". :) ;)

Maybe you don't understand:

Some random grammarnazi fuckwads on the internet agree with me about how quotation marks can be used. No skin in the game. It's colloquially acceptable at bare minimum.

Now get the fuck off my lawn, faggot.

On a different subject, there was a thread about you on Poal not too long ago. I was a surprised lurker in noting that there were so many people posting the most derogatory things about you. As I read some of these, I said to myself ---"Wow! This is amazing." I seem to recall there were over 60 comments at the time. As a policy, I will always avoid defaming or slander anyone, including you. Everyone has a right to speak, but in the course of deliberations, name-calling tends to undermine civil discussions including polemics. It acts as a poison pill and cancer in any discussion.

You're listed as a moderator on Poal. I'm concerned about your fortitude in keeping the discussions light-hearted. This amazes me, especially in my discussion with you after I posted two smiley faces to convey a more friendly approach.

Let's return to the original post I made. In essence, what I was trying to say was in the bigger picture what is germane for fighting the War doesn't really matter if Joe Biden is a clone or not. So, it is okay to agree that we disagree as long as it is a 'discussion'.

I am moving off your "lawn" now to find more fertile grounds. :).
