Use of 'Quotes' in Signatures
 
Don't want to get into a grand debate, but am moved to ask that the practice of using the quoted posts of other DTers in signatures as a means to belittle, end.

There is every opportunity to respond to posts that are worthy of derision, but putting those statements into your signature is an over-the-top attempt to ridicule and demean. It simply is mean-spirited.

Thanks.

so...that must be scat daddy you were tossing in his next....

i didn't think he'd win it either. i bet if you took a poll, you'd find many felt that way-if they were being honest.

You're welcome.. But be advised.. I can address the signature quotes but not 'posts worthy of derision'...

You got a sense of humor, and that counts for a lot...

Why do some people feel the need to be mean? Didn't their parents teach them to "treat others as you want to be treated"? I guess not.

More often than not, it helps their own insecurities.
