It is a well-known and oft-used method for making fun of somebody. Another excellent technique is the one which I am employing. It involves imitating the target's typing style. I have emulated your style by immersing my post in a solution of byzantine words, then saturating it with a sauce made from superfluous, redundant, and unnecessary adjectives, and, finally, sprinkled a touch of condescension to complete the recipe. I hope you like it.tahitiwahini wrote:Hector,
It is possible to be humorous without passing off your own words as someone else's. If it's done often then apparently there are more people who don't understand this than I thought.
It's obvious to me that no one would say what he was purported to have said, but I still think it's a cheap tactic and makes me for one less likely to attach any seriousness to the argument made. If a person is willing to fraudulently pass off his words as someone else's what else are they willing to do?
I'm sorry that this strikes you as acceptable discourse.
See, you managed to be humorous without lying about a quote. It's possible to be funny without lying about what someone said. That was my point and you seem to have grasped it despite all the byzantine words.
