Read the forum rules, please.
I was referring to what exactly a quote is. To make an example everyone should understand: When you're quoting a specific line someone once said, do you quote their entire conversation? No, you simply quote the part that you are responding to. Case in point:
In a thread about recent movies you have seen, Guy 1 posts the following:
- I saw [movie 1] just the other night. I thought it was great, [actor] did a really great job, and the script was top-notch, just as I have come to expect of [director]. I highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a great [genre].
However, I also saw [movie 2]. To be honest, it plainly sucked. Terrible CG effects, complete lack of focus, and bad supporting actors are all things you can expect to be slapped in the face with when you go to see [movie 2]. Avoid it at all costs!
Now, while one might expect a film review to be a little longer, even when making a list, it works for what I'm trying to prove. Say Guy 2 read what Guy 1 said, and, while not having seen [movie 1], completely disagrees about what Guy 2 said about [movie 2]. Guy would then proceed to quote the part about [movie 2], and not [movie 1] - simply because nothing that he has to say bears any relevance. Do you see what I mean? You delete the part which you aren't responding to in your post. Guy 2's post would then look something like this:

Are you sure you have seen the right movie? I though it was yada-yada-yada.
You see what point I'm trying to make? And Lkr, please acture mature enough not to bring any grudges you have with me on from other threads. I respect that you don't share my views, but please refrain from polluting other topics with off-topic discussions. Although what you wrote was an attack of me as a person.
