Pretty rich, coming from a christofascist.

Only a Democrat party.

<Count Wedgemore>: <moronovich: No wonder CG is bleeding. You can not build a communite on hate.>

True. And <Stonehenge>'s post illustrates your point quite clearly. Sad to see there are kibitzers like that, who even uses the Memorable Quotes forum, a forum made for good-natured fun, to post hate-filled comments, name-calling a fellow kibitzer.

Not sure making fun of the ramblings of an obviously mentally challenged person is what this page was ment for.

<George Wallace>: There's nothing <memorable> about these quotes from your Rogoff Page arguments. Why bring them here? You've already been accused of spilling the Rogoff stuff over on to the support page, the kibitzer's cafe, and now this page too?

<Keyser Soze>: <george> They are soo butthurt there that they can't help to come here and vent their frustrations. Duly noted.

So, again, copied for anyone interested:

I guess that's asking for a bit too much.

<Check It Out> Please take care not to replicate and pass on misattributions.

In this post Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #454368) <nok> misattributes <cormier> by stripping his post of the quotation marks.

Here is the original post by cormier with quotation marks intact: Kenneth Rogoff

It makes a huge difference, especially in a case like this. <cormier> is citing someone else- probably the Mudgagore or someone like that. It's not <cormier> presenting this as *his* dictum, or imperative.

It's also not "like cormier" to speak in that fashion, which is why my eyebrows shot up the second I saw "his" quote here in the humorous archive forum.

==

I realize <nok> made the error, but you have now passed his error on to a place where the error will be displayed and enshrined for a long time to come.

<Forum Host>: Please delete this misattribution to <cormier>.

<Check It Out> That's nok's post there, not cormier's post.

<nok's> post misattribute's cormier's original post. This is cormier's original post, which includes the quotation marks- making it clear this was not something <cormier> himself was saying: Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #454360)

<nok> stripped out the quotation marks from cormier's original post.

<nok's> repost: Kenneth Rogoff (kibitz #454368)

Cormier always puts quotations around quoted material- he often gets stuff from <Madjagore> or other Catholic websites.

When you archived <nok's> post here, you incidentally archived the misattribution. I doubt you noticed this at the time.

I wouldn't have made a fuss about this apart from the tendency of some, particularly those who may enjoy mocking Christians/Christianity, to mock <cormier>, who is a devout <Catholic>. I'm not certain that was <nok's> intent, but I felt obligated at the least to point out the misattribution. I am sure it wasn't your intent.

I appreciate your regular archiving of material here believe me.

If I had another chance I would try to make my original post and sound less like a Karen or someone who was gratuitously crawling up your ass.

<nok: Um... no thank you.>>

I guess that's asking for a bit too much for a communist.

There, a wee bit of a jab at Christians and communists alike, equal opportunity comedy. And no link to follow up to get the wrong idea about quotation marks and such. No mean-spiritedness intended, just a few laughs for this supposedly humorous forum.

Thanks for sorting that out brah!

Misappropriation is a serious problem in history work. I run in to it all the time, so I am forever on the lookout for it.

On <nok>- I have no idea what his intentions were, nor do I care.

Stripping <cormier's> post of the quotation marks was an intentional act.

If <nok> had copy/pasted it, the quotations would have remained intact.

If <nok> had re-typed it, he chose to erase the quotations for some reason. I'm pretty sure I can guess the reason, but I'll leave it at that.

I copy stuff here so people don't bust my balls about censorship. And maybe having records of all the arguments helps people understand why I don't want this crap over there. In most cases it should be self-explanatory.

You have to realize <George> started the thread, and gamed the system by deleting his response after I posted.

Really juvenile, but given the lackadaisical moderation, I was going to respond each step.

And when are you going to delete the extremely unfunny joke about Covid and sky-drivers?

<MQ> really should have a no-<Rogoff> policy. In fact, no politics, no religion would be advisable.

Let's face it, the happy days of <MQ> are mostly in the past, I'm sorry to say.

As a joke it's wasn't funny, nor original, nor topical. It had nothing to do with chess, or the <CG> community.

It was a right-wing trope that got copied onto <MQ>, reeking of political bias, and untruth.

Oct-17-18 Premium Chessgames Member optimal play: <TheAlchemist> Perfectly understandable.

I think the Memorable Quotes forum is terrific and I fully appreciate your concern about keeping the page free from bickering and insults.

A wide variety of quotes are posted there, with varying degrees of wit and cleverness.

Some I find very funny and clever, others not so much, but as long as the forum remains free from the gratuitous opinions of self-appointed critics, it can be a page which is easily perused by interested members, enjoying one quote after another, without having to wade through acrimony and argument.

My latest contribution was made in good faith, as always, and whatever anyone else thought of it, I consider it rather ignorant and ill-mannered of <Zanzibar> to post his unsolicited snarky judgement.

After Zanzy proferred his unwelcome viewpoint, other members understandably told him exactly what they thought of him; his hypocrisy, his double-standards, and just how he is seen at this website.

I chose not to jump in with my own comments since I don't give a hoot about Zanzy's bellyaching, and didn't want to see the MQ page deteriorate any further.

It seems that just as Zanzy ruined Daniel Freeman's Players page he also wanted to ruin the Memorable Quotes page. Therefore I hold no animosity towards you for your decision to erase all those comments, including my original quote.
