Your unwillingness to meet Jarulf's and Leshy's standards, among dozens of others from varied nations, is noted. What a pity that you choose to be sloppy, since your English is in general quite good. Wank away.

I can better understand why you did not "get" the humor in his post about Jackson Washington Smith.
As to your calling Hammerskjold ignorant, that's for you two to sort out, and it seems that you both continue your dialogue. Far be it from me to pee in your Cheerios any more than that.
EDIT: added after thinking a bit longer. :blink:
1. Hyperbole is a form of humor that uses overstatement, or taking things to ridiculous extremes.
2.
Then you might want to look a bit harder at why you were allegedly misunderstood. It probably started with the issue of discussing Realms and SP in the same context, which is one of the fundamental problems of the game's balance in the first place.
3. As to the tags:
I too have run into that. What you may want to do before you hit "post" is try to be sure that what you cut still have nested tags.
What I do is use the manual method. From the quote being used, select the text within the quote via copy and paste, and then hit the "quote" button or the "I" or "B" or "U" buttons. That way, I don't let the forum software think for me, I know exactly which quotes I am re quoting.
That too will help avoid confusion.
