I see the point you're trying to make, too bad you're not a blind man - the blind man can't do anything about his situation, you can.

a blind man would learn from the incident. the next day, he would remember the bump in the road and take pains to either walk a different route or step higher. he cannot see. that doesn't affect his ability to remember or his ability to adapt to the situation. if he continues to trip and stomp in my lawn i would begin to assume that 1) there is more then just a sight problem here or 2) hes fucking stomping on my motherfucking flowers for fun

Originally posted by Nostrum Nope...that's not what I'm talking about at all. What I was referring to is posting two quotes in your post...not WITHIN each other like you just did. Sort of like what I did with your post and RJs. I'll even show you again: See how I've quoted you multiple times in the same post - but the quotes are not all within each other? That way you're not posting 6 times in a row. It get's really annoying to read (one of the so-called "unwritten rules of TA" that you've told me there are - so there ya go, it's written for you).

But this is wrong?
Edit: The differences are subtle if at all. If this is bad, why it makes other unhappy is beyond me [/QUOTE]

I don't even know what this means since you basically quoted what I said...yet not in an actual quote

Exactly. The differences are not subtle at all. If you nest them it makes it extremely hard to understand. And you wonder why people are having such a hard time figuring out what you're saying.


~Edit~
And to answer your little quiz. I pick D. I would put something out there to get his attention, and he would thus learn on his own that there is something he was doing wrong.

Basically what I'm doing for you. Letting you know that people are annoyed with the way you're quoting...and pointing you in the general direction, but expecting you to figure out how to fix things on your own b/c I'm assuming you're not an idiot.

P.S. OMG look what I did? I quoted 2 people in the same post and didn't nest. However did I do it?!

Thank you Lisa. I think that I see what your saying. But I still don't understand why it is such an upsetting thing. I assure you and everybody that it's nothing personal.

If you want to embed HTML within quotes then make sure you attach the closing tags for tables otherwise you mess up people's browsers.

The reason your quoting style isn't being embraced is because people here are accustomed to scanning a post for certain key elements (i.e. a quote box with an Originally posted by ..... in bold). Your posts force people to spend more time reading through the whole quote block trying to figure out what is what. Not to mention they have to scroll down a hell of a lot more - which is annoying - but, the spacebar saves the day.

Example:

No offense, but you haven't taken a drastically different direction yourself. The beauty of this thread is the inherent convictions you both display. Albeit, one of you does it with a side helping of humour, while others have gotten visibly irritated by it

Anyways, back to the hole I go
