DNAunion: It does not state that your intention has to be to embarass the
person being quoted - it just says that having such an intent makes quoting
them MORE wrong (that is what the "ESPECIALLY IF..." clause means).
>FMA: Or did I mean to breach protocol or good manners? I do not believe
that this was my intention.
DNAunion: I could not have known your true intention - that is a personal
thing only you could possible know for sure.
>FMA: If that forum incorrectly portrays your opinion then I apologize and
urge you to reformulate your opinion on this forum.
DNAunion: In another thread at ARN, I openely admitted that I was not
knowledgable about RuBisCO before delving into a discussion where several of
my thoughts were shown to be incorrect. Thus I do not feel comfortable
having material on RuBisCO presented here (as it deals with a subject that I
openly admitted to not being knowledgable about).
