The quote was taken from a long article and I quoted the pertinent part, not the entire article. But there are no modifications to the quote - it's verbatim as I found it. Did you expect me to quote the entire article? If I quote a paragraph or part therof from a book, by your logic it's an edited quote since I did not quote the entire book.
therof = thereof

You took a quote out of context to twist its meaning.
The article was debunking Lady Hope's story. Your post made it appear that it was supporting the story.
I don't expect you to quote anything in its entirety. But I also don't expect you to think you can get away with changing the meaning by what you choose to leave out.
It's dishonest. And it is editing, for that reason.
