    It may be that some here don't know to do that so as to make their responses easily understood, so here's one way to do it.

    1. Open a text editor like Notepad, and paste this into it:
    Code:
    [/QUOTE]
    [QUOTE]
    2. Save the file to wherever, but leave it open.
    3. Click the reply button on the post you're responding to, and if necessary, click "use BB code editor" to preserve formatting.
    4. Copy the contents of the reply box and paste them into text file, so you have something looking like this:

    [QUOTE="yguy, post: 1071220619, member: 36186"]That's because I have no obligation or intention to reconcile the beliefs of billions of people I don't know from Adam with my own.
    Seeing I never said they [I]all[/I] are, I'd say the question is irrelevant. Wouldn't you?
    Perhaps you'd like to tell us how exactly one would logically get from that premise to that conclusion.[/QUOTE]​

    5. C&P the code in step 1 from your text file to wherever you wish to insert a response, like so:

    [QUOTE="yguy, post: 1071220619, member: 36186"]That's because I have no obligation or intention to reconcile the beliefs of billions of people I don't know from Adam with my own.
    [/QUOTE]
    [QUOTE]
    Seeing I never said they [I]all[/I] are, I'd say the question is irrelevant. Wouldn't you?
    [/QUOTE]
    [QUOTE]
    Perhaps you'd like to tell us how exactly one would logically get from that premise to that conclusion.[/QUOTE]​

    6. Insert your responses, like so:

    [QUOTE="yguy, post: 1071220619, member: 36186"]That's because I have no obligation or intention to reconcile the beliefs of billions of people I don't know from Adam with my own.
    [/QUOTE]No, it's because yer a drooling imbecile...
    [QUOTE]
    Seeing I never said they [I]all[/I] are, I'd say the question is irrelevant. Wouldn't you?
    [/QUOTE]...and yo momma a ho...
    [QUOTE]
    Perhaps you'd like to tell us how exactly one would logically get from that premise to that conclusion.[/QUOTE]...and yo daddy too, ******.​

    7. Pasting the result of step 6 into the reply box and clicking "post reply" should yield something like this:

    No, it's because yer a drooling imbecile...
    ...and yo momma a ho...
    ...and yo daddy too, ******.​

    You may wish to improve the intellectual content of your replies over what you see here; but regardless of how eloquent or retarded your responses may be, no one in your intended audience will be confused about what exactly you're responding to, which is the point of all this.

    So now, nobody has to ask the meanest SOB in town how to do it, as he has given you a method out of all the generosity in his cold, cold heart.

    You're welcome...

    ...and Merry Christmas, all you <rule 3 deletion>. :razz:
