Okay. It seems that the simplest way to address this is that if you are not quoting another person’s comment then simply use the blockquote html tag and use the quote feature for quoting comments only. Simple enough, I hope?

I got it to stop reformatting the blockquote thing so I guess that will hopefully be enough

Ok I’ll have to look into what’s going on in the code

Steve, BTW, you know that the “quote comment” plugin displays the name of the comment author before any quote in a comment, even if that quote isn’t from another comment, right (it’s also stripping out any quotes in the quoted comment)? My guess is the plugin isn’t checking whether there’s a “comment” attribute in the bbcode before spitting text out, and a variable somewhere isn’t getting reset (otherwise it would display ” said:”)–if you email me the source, I’ll see if I can fix it.

Meanwhile, if this block of text is not affected by the aforementioned bug, using the “blockquote” HTML tag is a workaround. Otherwise, ignore this last part.

The negative form of literati would be illiterati, if I remember well. Literati, in my rendering of a wacky conspiracy theorist, is some sort of code word for scientists in special and people who can read in general.

Thanks, I was pretty sure that the likelihood of my misspelling that was near 100%.

And, I totally agree. When performing your own research is too time consuming, or just plain inconvenient, just blame the illuminati, literati, or freemasons. It’s easier then getting an education.

I think it’s spelled “illerati”

And, unfortunately, they really exist.

What I find frustrating is that these people really think they are educated and knowledgeable about the issues they are raising.

Even if the illuminati aren’t real, the literati are overal in our society. They plan wars, produce nuclear weapons (including those using the most toxic substance on earth, plutonium!), poison us with and make money off those evil consumer goods and indoctrinate nearly everyone in their system, while shaming those who haven’t bought into them.

(I hope it is clear enough this is a parody of a wacky loony conspiracy theorist.)
