    Did the removed quote use quotation marks to indicate where the quote ended and the personal thoughts of OP began?

    Because there is a considerable difference in intent depending on where quotation marks are used.

    Similarly, it’s the difference capitalization makes between “helping your uncle Jack off a horse” and bestiality.

    No offense, but it feels like OPs comment was removed because you considered it bestiality / a call to violence, when it very likely was just a poor usage of grammar.

      I pasted the removed quote from the modlog and added the quotes around it to make it clear I was quoting it, the original removed comment had no quote marks at all.

        Thanks for the explanation. That is what I was thinking. His failure to use quotes is possibly no different than someone failing to capitalize the first letter of their uncle named jack.

        Imo, this was far more likley a grammar error than an intentional alteration of the original Jefferson quote.

        Like Abraham Lincoln said, those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves, and, under a just God, cannot long retain it. Of course that God being Jake Paul, Ohio rizz phantom tax.
