Luke . . .
I demand an apology.
And your word that you won't engage in changing quotes again.
Not mine. Not anyone else's. Not on any koi board.
Why?
Because you've engaged in it for years. Just last month on KoiShack you did the exact same thing, got caught and were chastised -- but obviously haven't seen fit to modify your offensive behavior.
It's time for it to stop. And it's time for all the koi boards to hold you accountable.

For those who aren't familiar with the crap he pulls, here's the example I referenced above.
Graham posted:
I don't think that you would be disappointed in any of them especially Art's judging one.
You changed it so that when you quoted him it read:
I don't think that you would be disappointed in any of them except Art's judging one.
Cheryl Childers caught it immediately and posted:
The question should be what do YOU have against Art, lukie. You are the one going around changing people's posts.
Steve Childers caught it and posted:
Luke, I think we need to have a talk. That is NOT what Graham posted and YOU changed it.
At first you tried to laugh it off with:
LOL, come on if you caught it everyone else should and I was expecting some banter from Graham...friendly banter, where Graham would expound on the worth of attending Art's presentation...
Then Dale, the site administrator, posted:
I want to remind all folks that when registering, logging and entering into koishack you agree to abide by the guidelines... Misrepresentation will not be tolerated and will be frowned upon and subject to disciplinary actions...
So then you tried to justify what you'd done and posted this:
note to all...this thread woulda gone nowhere...and it didn't. Yep personally I was very interested in Joe white's talk about his trip to japan....he is more insightful than most, and will provide a wealth of current information.... BTW on a number of posts I have CHANGED some words in the post I quote and no one has had any problem at all and found it entertaining...I usually do so to get the original poster motivated to address the issue again....this time I must have hit a nerve... if you haven't caught it in other posts then you weren't reading very carefully.
To which Cindy Coombs replied:
But Luke....it is not fair to change someone's quote. It's not fair to them and it is not fair to anyone else who reads the words. If you want to motivate someone to post, find another way of doing it. Changing someone's words to suit your own purposes is dishonest.
And to which Dale posted:
somewhat disappointed in you luke....for i was giving you the benefit of the doubt... perhaps i expected more from you....or wanted to... i thought that you would use your insight, judgement, intelligence and knowledge of this hobby to motivate discussion.....as you have shown you can do in the past....and have contributed to meanful educational discussions in the past.... rather then resort to cheap tactics that others have used so frequently in the past....with other "mo's"..... i thought you were better then that?
It was then that JR posted:
yea, that was pretty bad Luke. I get that sometimes you just can't help yourself, but when an idea like that pops into your head again, just lie down until the urge goes away.
And Steve Childers added:
Luke,There is a difference in statung your own opinion and chaning the written opinion of another. That is the SAME behavior exibited by some that you take issue with on other boards. Do you want others to think of you in the same way?
At which point you posted:
I consider myself duly chastised...but there was no malice in it...except i wanted Graham to pucker up a nbit. _____ Source: How Good Are Seminars At Central Florida Show How Good Are Seminars At Central Florida Show - KoiShack
So what did you learn, Luke?
Apparently not a GD thing.
