    Highlight the portion you want to enclose in quotes and then click the little dialog bubble button in the post box. It looks like a cartoon word bubble. That should work.

    I said I want going to respond anymore but just one last thing to really try to drive the point home: Historian chick I am not upset with anyone when I pointed out the problems I saw not only in MY post but in others postings as well I was not aming them at anyone. I have no problem with FR, Scott, You or anyone. In fact I went out of my way not to name names or to even give the name of the postings I was referring to. Im sorry if I have offended anyone here with what I typed but again I'm not sorry I typed it because I was just pointing out things that I read and saw.

    Now as for Judy my post speak volumes to you about me just like your response speaks volumes to me about you. I called you those terms of endearment to keep from losing my temper and saying something rude.You will be happy to know that I already have a sweetie pie so you don't ever have to wrry about me looking to you to be my snooky wookums :).. look silliness it is obvious that we(you and me judy) are not going to ever agree so the MATURE thing to do is to just agree to disagree right

    You can press the Quote user button and it quotes the whole post. If you only want to quote portions, you can just highlight the portion and press the quote icon (to the left of the octothorpe).

    I think a lot of what's going on here is what has been stated previously--people aren't catching the TONE of the written words accurately.

    So... people see insensitive or rude responses when honestly--they're just not catching the tone.

    I didn't see attitude, really, in anyone's responses here but my own (And I ALWAYS have attitude). I saw people trying to help other people see their point of view.

    If I were you I'd call whatever College you graduated from and demand your money back.

    The MATURE thing is not to call strangers terms of endearment "to keep from losing your temper and saying something rude."

    The MATURE thing is to figure out that this is a message board, no more and no less.

    (And MATURE people don't have "sweetie pies" and "snooky wookums," at least no MATURE people I know. They also don't post good-bye messages... and then return!)

    Please note how I have edited part of your comments in the above quote. It's rather easy to do.

    Twinklet... You have been here since May 11, just barely an entire month, give or take an hour or two, or three.

    From reading your other posts, as well as this one, it seems as though you have a problem with authority.

    This site runs well with or without you. You have made the choice to stay here and complain. While your complaints are not taken lightly, and are valid to some extent. There is no way in the world to get millions of people to answer questions in the way in which you wish to have them answered. Some people are point blank and forward with their answers. And, sometimes it takes a slap in the face to get the point across. Other times we have to tip toe to get the point across.

    Those of us who have years of experience or thousands of posts know how to do that properly. Others spam the boards or are internet trolls. And, as a moderator, we deal with those as they come. If you don't like an answer, please report it as such, otherwise, let us do our jobs. PERIOD!!

    You have virtually exhausted your arguments and risk this thread being closed and/or banishment from the site.
