I cannot believe that I have to point out on this fourm that I have quoted Mark Anthony's funeral oration in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The end result of calling Brutus, Cassius and their fellow assasssins honorable men was an uprising against them.

So, my words were the height of irony, but you geniuses missed it.

Deficit of a technical education, instead of classical. Apologies.

Context is everything, FRiend.

Additionally, the universally recognized practice of identifying quotations as such exists specifically to clarify that what was being written originated from the author, rather than from an unknown third party.

But surely a fellow genius such as yourself already knew that.

Missing quotes are usually the sign of an ignoramus. Shakespeare’s wasn’t that great. Never followed him. Liberals seem to like him thought. Makes them feel part of the crowd.
