But kudos on arguing with many and making it hard to argue back.
Even the two points you made against my 2 quotes seem contradictory
If you want to argue that point bring them up and we will talk
If you wish to reply to my individual quotes bring them up (serperatly)
If you wish to hide in a myriad of multi quotes not to have ur opinion questioned well continue as you do”
Multi quotes are where it's at
Just joking

- I absolutely don't mean to make it hard to reply, but I often (usually - ?

) multi-quote because I try to read every post on a thread before I reply (unlike some), so there's lots to say!
I promise I am not trying to 'hide behind a myriad' of multi-quotes!
I've been on forums since they started on the internet basically so multi quotes and chopping down to the relevant bits I'm replying to, copying and pasting from various posts, are second nature to me, but I know it's confusing for a lot of folk. It still is for me when I mess up the format and have to go back and edit!
I'm happy to give any tips if it helps anyone (maybe by PM so as not to take this thread off-topic - ?). But, simply, please feel free to quote my message and cut out the bits you aren't replying to (it's polite and only fair to put
... where you've cut stuff though).
I
am selective in what I reply to in as much as there are only so many hours in the day! So, I reply to the stuff that I feel I have something to say on, but I
don't cut stuff out that I feel is in
any way relevant to the point made in the same post (that isn't the exact same point made a second, third or fourth etc time) - that would be dishonest and wrong. Nor do I generally cut stuff between sentences in the same paragraph etc even if it's repetitive - basic common sense there.
No-one's perfect though and I do make mistakes so please feel free to point them out, and hope I see them to reply to/take on board/correct
So, let's discuss (and I'll try to keep things a bit simpler)!
I don't see the contradiction you're talking about, but if you can point it out to me I'll happily respond
