How are you helping to make the (HUBB) world a better place?
Please don't EVER misquote people.  Thanks.

That's fine chris, it is an insulting post, if you think it's past the line of acceptability for the hubb then delete it. It was specifically a response to colebatch after his previous post. I think it was an appropriate reply, and whilst the reasons being might be lost on everyone else, colebatch might have an idea.
I respond to questions and discussions throughout the hubb when I see that I can add a viewpoint to the discussion or share an experience. I wasn't really trying to make the hubb a 'better place' in this thread, but I didn't think I needed to either as the the description for the bar is 'no useful content required'. But I do strongly disagree with colebatch's assertion that we owe our high quality of living to bankers and should be grateful to them for it, and think it's right to challenge such views.
I don't understand what you mean about misquoting? I thought someone's post was a load of rubbish, and a neat way of expressing that appeared to be to use the quote tool but replace the text with 'a load of rubbish'. I don't see how that counts as 'misquoting' at all, since I was obviously not attempting to confuse anybody into thinking that was what was actually written, particularly since the 'quote' and response would then cease to make any sense...
