[Petronski]

Let's go to the instant replay:

when quoting with alterations what another Freeper has posted it is necessary to make the alteration clear.

You might use HTML to cross through the original words and follow them with your own.

Or you might show what you believe it ought to have said in brackets or parans, e.g. "Ratzinger [Pope Benedict] ..."

I am making an earnest effort to "make the alterations clear" by ending italics (a method to indicate what is quoted) and by further emphasizing the end of italics through the addition of bold.

Italics indicate what is quoted. Non-italicized text is what I corrected.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Your "earnest effort" falls flat and again you break the rules of the FR RF.

As you pointed out from the Religion Moderator...

You might use HTML to cross through the original words and follow them with your own.

Or you might show what you believe it ought to have said in brackets or parans, e.g. "Ratzinger [Pope Benedict] ..."

"cross through the original words and follow them with your own..."

Or...

"...in brackets"

You did neither.

Follow the rules, if you can.
