So.....what did you mean when you posted:

Begin and end on punctuation/paragraph, if you like.

Leave the whole sentence/statement intact.

Why did you say this?

Leave the whole sentence/statement intact. Get over it. Deal with it. Or perhaps try it out.

Huh

No, it's you playing silly buggers. Any reasonable person would understand exactly what I said. You chose to make it a pedantic game. So again, don't be a dick. If you think I have not been clear enough, go edit posts the way you see fit but don't cry if the results are not to your liking.

Finally.

edit: I have no idea why what I posted as a reply to what I meant by "if you like" is "Rubbish. Sheer piss weak rubbish." That is exactly how I meant it. The only explanation I can see is that you don't want to accept it. It is, if you like, Aussie waving a white flag.

I have seen people disingenuously say they use the strike through form of censorship to just highlight what they wish to respond to yet they strike through whole posts and make no comment in response. Just a quote of a post which is all struck through. Which makes this a lie.

The only reason to use the strike through form of censorship is to try to negate, demean and diminish another poster's thoughts and words and I cannot see how this is a positive thing.

Nor can I see why it is condoned and/or encouraged. It is not a form of discussion as all it serves to do is stop discussion dead in its tracks and sideline in to disruption and derailment of threads.

It's a totally ignorant and negative thing.

I am pretty sure strikethrough was mandated for Gregg, cos like the juvenile attention seeking dishonest troll he is, he was incapable of editing anyone's post to respond to pertinent parts without changing the meaning and misrepresenting what some one had posted.

But yes, it is lazy and is just a gain say without any effort at thought or rebuttal.

Yes, let's fret the really serious issues like using the strike through facility, and ignore (as you have) the really petty issues like outrageous and totally unacceptable doxxing here.

And yes, I do use the strike through facility to negate, demean and diminish another poster's thoughts and words, just like you do yet far more obviously with your passive aggressive and very negative posts.

Aussie my understanding of Feedback is to give FEEDBACK. Not to spend time trolling and attacking other posters regarding their FEEDBACK opinions nor about something not relevant to this topic.

I gave my opinion on "Changing other poster's replies" so perhaps you too could stick to that topic and not make things personal against other posters? At LEAST in FEEDBACK!!

Feedback should be free from personal attacks. End of.

And I am giving my opinion on your opinion. Your objection is that the only reason to use the strike through form of censorship is to try to negate, demean and diminish another poster's thoughts and words.

I am saying that you do that with words, just like we all do and should on a political forum if we disagree with that poster's thoughts and words.

It's either that or they will be editing your posts to misrepresent. The point of it being that the reader can see what was originally posted, they can make up their minds about the way/reason a person edits the post. Rather than complaining, people should be happy their words are still there to be read by other posters and their words are not changed to misrepresent what they said. In an ideal world this would not be necessary but we have some posters that just love to misrepresent others they disagree with rather than have a rational discussion.
