A post on EN World suggested "Post[ing] random quotes attributed to RC saying random or silly things in reponse to another post, things RC never actually said, but due to his total deletion of all his posts can never be conclusively proved that he did not say."
Intentionally misquoting someone has been a violation of the Rules since the day I started posting there. It also might open EN World and the poster(s) in question to legal action.
A report of that post, instead of spurring moderator action, ended in an email to me suggesting that I cannot have it "both ways"; I cannot both leave and expect the Rules to apply.
Interesting times indeed.
By all means, tease away. Stop your teasing short of intentional libel, though. Or publicly encouraging actionable behaviour. And if you are intending on committing libel, be a little smarter than this. Don't publicly announce it.
