Changing of posts.

On every other forum I have been on it has been a violation of the rules for one poster to quote another and deliberately change the wording of the post. If that's not a rule here it should be IMO. This is about as cheap a shot as anyone can take.

I have never changed the words of anyone's post.

However if your buddy Whell persists in changing mine I will demonstrate how two can play that game.

There is nothing wrong with the existing changing a post since it is announced as such.

Additionally it often makes for biting commentary.

I think it's a cheap trick myself.

However I am not going to unilaterally disarm.

Since there is no rule against it, I'll put it in my arsenal to be used in self defense.

Good Lord. Get over yourself and have a bit of fun once in a while. Whenever folks around here "change posts", its usually a good-natured poke in the ribs. At least that's how I see it. Usually such "changed posts" are accompanied by a smiley icon, like this:
