I include what is necessary for context when it is necessary. In this case, it wasn't necessary in my view. As for "picking apart posts", That's simply how I process them in my mind. Sorry if it disturbs you in some way, but it's just how things work. Most people have multiple individual points when debating a topic, and since I'm debating a topic, I prefer to address those points directly and individually. There's nothing wrong with that. It's not part of some strategy to "win" or an ulterior motive. It's just being analytical.
What else exactly did I need to quote in my post for you to understand it? I thought my message was pretty clear.It doesn't bother me.You can bold the sentence you want to reply to, and still keep the original post for context purposes. You always try to pick apart posts so you can argue each point instead of the message they are conveying as a whole.
And I'm posting it in here because I don't want to make a "Alhanelem why do you post in such a silly way?" thread.
It isn't about this message in particular.
I never claimed you did it to 'win', but thanks for fortifying my opinion on why you do it.
You try to remove clarity, to bolster your own points.
To the see how the extent of human intelligence and reasoning that's provided, how can we reason with such an argument?
All I can say is: Life's a bitch and then you die. Oh yeah, your gear receives damage too. We all have to deal with it.
I do not know or care if they plan to remove it in 2.0

I do no such thing. I do not EVER remove clarity. If I omit something from a post, it is, in my judgement, not something that contributes to the clarity of the post. Again, I'm sorry if you feel like this is a problem. But my posting style is not aimed at gaining any kind of advantage in a discussion. I simply prefer not to make my posts longer than they have to be. I'd really appriciate it at this point if you didn't try to make me sound like a weasel or otherwise being manipulative. That's not what I'm trying to do.
Regardless, you must have had some kind of problem with my original post in this thread, otherwise you wouldn't have been driven to criticize me for how I quote posts. If you aren't bothered, why are you commenting on it? If you are bothered, then don't respond to my posts. There's no value in sidetracking a thread like this to complain about the way a person posts.
