Why is this the incorrect way to quote?

Quote from: Judas Iscariot on July 15, 2009, 02:12:38 PM
Do you refuse to quote correctly out of spite Wags, or have you just not figured out how to yet?
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

It helps the flow of the reading if the quote is first, followed by the response.  This eases the flow of the narrative and the overall logical progression of the ensuing new comment.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Well what can I do? Waste valuable time scrolling down to start typing?

PDH!

in a similar way that James Joyce challenged the accepted structure of the novel in Finnegan's Wake.

But Wags' method challenges the accepted structure of forum logic
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

New forum, new traditions.  Time to forge a new world without the corpse of the old getting in the way.
PDH!

I despise Swarthy Fagtard more than ever.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

I wonder what it is that totally turns women away from metal.
I went into Newcastle yesterday and ended up at the town's metal bar, I noticed that it was something like 90% guys there, you rarely see women involved with metal elsewhere too.
Sure, there's the 'sweaty' nerdy image associated with metal and there were a large number of those types there but there were also a large amount of otherwise fairly normal seeming people.

Well, let's think about it.  Metal is emo for people who aren't in high school anymore.  Now, what attracts women to emo?  The fact that they're too young to know any better.  Thus, where does metal fail?  The women are old enough to know better.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
