I perform my selective editing to (1) save space....piling one quote upon another, upon another, upon another is unnecesary and (2) to highlight the particular portion of a quote I'm responding to.
I'm always careful to preserve the accurate essence of the quote(s) in question.
You should adopt my method.
Nope, sorry, no cigar. I often edit out the preceeding quotes to save space. And I will highlight (usually using boldface like the above) the particular portion of a quote I'm responding to. But I (and no one else on this forum) never edit out selected words from someone else's quote in an attempt to alter the person's statement. That's the problem with what you do, you distort the "accurate essence of the quote(s) in question."
Quote: algernonpj wrote in post #211. The prime reason the US is being flooded with illegals and legal immigrants from third world countries is not to do jobs Americans supposedly can't/won't do. 2. It is for the same reason as it was done in Europe...CHEAP LABOR.
Number 2 contradicts (or at least undermines) number 1.
Nope. Think in terms of the replacement of Americans who are not subsidized by tax payers with CHEAP IMPORTED LABOR subsidized by tax payers. The CHEAP IMPORTED LABOR serves the addition purpose of adding DIVERSITY, and VOTES for big government.
In other words, next time read and respond to my entire post, not a few select words of your choosing.

ETA: Cedric, you ought to consider knocking that off. It certainly isn't funny and isn't anywhere close to being intellectually honest. No one else here does that, this isn't that kind of forum. You seem like a nice enough guy at heart and can certainly argue your case without resorting to those type of childish antics. Seriously.
FP,
You're wasting your time and giving the troll far too much credit. The mask has dropped and the ugly troll is back hogging attention, high jacking the thread, deploying his arsenal of logical fallacies. Give him all the time and attention he deserves, i.e. none.

Nope. Never have. Never will.
Fine, have it your way. I'll go back to just simply ignoring everything that you post here. I figured that I'd try to meet you in the middle lately, find common ground, be supportive when I agree, that sort of good neighborly stuff in the interest of promoting a healthy and collegial forum. But I see that you have no interest.

Translation:
1. You posed 2 (two) manifestly contradictory points.

1. I noticed that and appreciated it. But, alas, I never truly believed it would last very long.
2. Why, because I "selectively edit" differently than you do? Or is it because I object to your standing in judgement of my intentions?
