That's a link to your blog or whatever, not a citation to a grammatical source authority supporting your notion that the omission of end notes or footnotes constitutes a misquote.
Be yourself. Everyone else is taken.
No proof then.
"You're wrong on the necessity of ellipses..."
Let the reader decide .

Well, no readers don't decide grammar. Here's a bit from a widely recognized and helpful source: Grammar Girls.
"In formal writing, the most common way to use an ellipsis is to show that you’ve omitted words...Integrity is essential when using ellipses this way. It's acceptable to tighten a long quotation by omitting unnecessary words, but it's important that you don't change the meaning."
Here's a bit from Wiki:
Ellipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ἔλλειψις, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of marks that usually indicate an intentional omission of a word, sentence or whole section from the original text being quoted. An ellipsis can also be used to indicate an unfinished thought or, at the end of a sentence, a trailing off into silence, (aposiopesis)...
I'm not here to teach you English 101.
My ACT English section score: 36. So don't worry about that. I didn't take introductory English courses. I assisted in teaching them.
Cite to authority. Supra.
In
example two you replace my words:
My actual comments read: "You removed the scripture from my quote (Eph 4:14). All of the devils here love you. Why do you think that is? Hos 3:1, Ps 26:5."
You quoted me as saying: "I ... love you. Why do you think that is?"
I know. I told you why I did it and that it was intentional.
You altered my words.
Your intent.
The false quote appears next to my name.
What you call lampooning, I call misquoting.
each:
I wasn't attempting to quote you. I was attempting to educate you on spotting the difference between failing to reproduce every jot and tittle of a thing and altering the meaning. Again, find anyone who read that in context as an attempt to fool anyone reading our exchange into thinking you love me. :chuckle:
I understand that you misquoted me. You regularly misquote others (example
1,
2).
No, I don't and those links aren't to other people. They're to your posts and my responses to them, along with your ongoing claim about what constitutes a misquote: one you've yet to support with a cite to any grammatical authority.
I don't dispute the fact that I have been banned.
Well, you can't dispute it. It's a fact, just as my lack of so much as a single infraction in six years is a fact.
