Which type of quoting annoys you more...
The multi quote function or responding to each quote with individual posts?
Sorry, I messed up the original poll. My apologises.

To everyone - editing someone's text that you quote is completely verboten - forbidden. Completely and utterly. Taking simple sentences out of context can also be misleading and rude.
This is NOT, however, a forum for debates. If you really want to debate things like politics seriously, there are many, many other places to do so. This is Pet Talk, where we should all be kinder than we might be elsewhere, because here we know we are among people with whom we have something basic in common - our love for our pets.
On other matters, it is sometimes best to agree to disagree, or to hold one's tongue.
That can get confusing if one is responding to more then 2 or 3 posts from more then 2 or 3 people.Quote:

Well if "quote only the text that is relevant " had been offered as a option, I would have chosen that, but in the great scheme of things, the turkey bacon was of more importance. Turkey is great but it doesn't cook the same way as pork or beef. Turkey burgers don't cut the mustard, either, which is too strong for turkey anyway.
We ONLY eat turkey burgers in this house. Bruce has experimented and found the perfect way to make them so they aren't dry and gag you. He adds onion, garlic and hamburger seasoning to them. They are YUMMY!!Quote:

Oh, and as far as the quotes go. I'd say quote only the part you want to comment on........as I did above. :)

so does this mean we are suppoed to use the whole quote and NOT edit it?:confused: sorry I am just not sure...:confused:
and speaking of quotes...what am I doing wrong? why do my posts have the "quote" word but others seem to have their quotes in a box in their posts??
Your post above is missing the [/ before then end of the quote tag.

No, that means that you cannot use a quote but change its contents - like quoting something that says "then I heard Mr Smith say" and changing it
to be "then I heard Mr Poopyhead say"
do you understand?
It is certainly fine to quote just one sentence, if that is what you are responding to. In fact that's the best thing to do in many circumstances.
ok I got it, yeah I understand, thank you!:D
