> So let me see if I understand this correctly, alex. Hypothetically speaking, say there is a person who is obsessed with, let's say religion, which is manifested in that person having a persecution complex. And this individual on Psycho-Babble is hypervigilant, for example, and manipulates another poster's comments into altered statements that changed their meanings and offended the original author - this is not uncivil, but the author describing what had been done to him, that is uncivil?
I think it is the "accusing" and "jumping to conclusions" type thing. You know, the attempt to read one's mind. These are the things that are, I believed, being judged to be implied by the words "used these quotes, I feel, to further your own interests with no regard to my own".
It is the judgment of another's intent that I believe is being focused upon here.
