First I am accused of being defensive... now I am being accused of being aggressive...

WTF?!?!?!



In case this is helpful: things like "WTF?!?!?!" aren't helping.


WTF am I supposed to be helping. Reading comprehension apparently fails this audience.

so yeah. Fuck that. Read a quote. Did I say it no, hence we have the term in english called "quote" - we even have fricken literal characters on our keyboards and in our lexicon called "quotes"

Let me try this for you: "Don't kill the messenger" -- SamStave

Kill me for that.


Well the fact that you are diverting discussion of the content of your quote through claiming that quoting it was not an endorsement of its sentiment -- a claim I still find specious at best under these circumstances -- seems to suggest that you are not confident in its validity. Is this the case? Because that's understandable, and we'd get a lot further in this discussion through recognizing it rather than not and continuing to avoid saying whether or not you actually believe what you quoted.


So by your logic we automatically believe that someone quoting another means that one is supporting the sentiment or belief in the stated quote?


When you accompany the quote with your own words expressing doubt in fluoridation, then yes, people will think you agree with what you're posting. Especially if it's something you keep posting.
