Do you all realize that you have a limited form of MODERATOR POWER when you quote someone's post?
That is to say, you have FULL CONTROL over every letter that appears in your post, including everything in the post(s) you quote.
Now you should never twist someone's words, or modify your opponents words to make him look foolish, etc. Since that behavior is so destructive to a discussion forum, doing that would merit disciplinary action against YOU.
But censoring a blasphemy, or vile language, or something filthy, is a very good idea. It makes my job much easier, since I only have to moderate ONE post instead of the original post PLUS the 10 responses to it which quoted the blasphemy/obscenity in full!
Something to watch out for in the future.
In fact, you might also consider the moral ramifications of posting a blasphemy -- even if it comes in between a pair of "quote tags".
