It would have been more appropriate to put the phrase "such as Sleepyguy" in brackets with your username next as it is not a direct quote from my post.

You should simply try to follow well-established procedures when quoting someone else. If you don't know them, I'm happy to help.

I'm not interested in a personalized pissing match with you. I prefer to give SG a chance to respond.

Then you are doing it wrong and the example you gave is beside the point.

Just trying to help; if I had wanted to add the phrase you did I would have but I didn't so it was clearly incorrect for you to do so in a quote without identifying yourself as responsible for the addition. Try to accept his correction of your error with some grace.

What I think of SG is irrelevant to your error.

The interviewee does not mention race.

The interviewer mentions race.

The interviewee corrects the interviewer.

I think it's normal to use square brackets rather than round ones when doing that.

"The interviewee corrects the interviewer."
you can't "correct" someone by making a retarded comment. that's not correcting.


i can't complain that you don't know that though, you constantly say retarded crap then go giggling convinced you are the greatest.
