Some people are bamboozled by the quotemining and others know they are being deceptive. For this specific person, I am 99.9% sure they fall in the knowingly deceptive camp.

I don't know the best nonviolent way to neutralize fascists but I do know that I'm suspicious of anyone loudly proclaiming they do as a justification for partaking in a dispersed-network harassment campaign of nutpicking and quotemining.

If you want to say that no one should've ever criticized the tactics of black bloc anarchists associated with antifa, what with coherent political theories and their tremendous record of success and whatnot, that'd be a totally different thing that what people quotemining that are doing.

In your case, there's clearly an attempt at stochastic terrorism going on where people are trying to egg each other on into action and to make you feel intimidated. That they're doing it while deliberately quotemining you to express faux-concern over political violence is part of the thrill.

It started before Climategate. "Quotemining" actually started with creationists in the Seventh Day Adventist church who spent *decades* coming through scientific literature trying to find quotes that, when taken out of context, sound like scientists admitting there's no evidence for evolution.

I think you have a few different groups of people who despise you for different reasons. And all have a tendency towards quotemining, fabricated gossip, and egregiously bad misreadings of comments. You can make it better or worse, but sometimes things just have a life of their own.

Du redest mit einem Spezialisten, die ganzen Quotemining Resultate aus der Presse kenne ich vielen Dank :-)

Ich behaupte nicht dass man Teile des Netzes nicht wegräumen soll, vs die letzten km zu den Kunden, aber die größeren Leitungen sollten bleiben

Wissen Sie was "quotemining" ist und warum man davon nicht klug wird?

At best, this is just tu quoque. I don't really think he's true he's prone to quotemining, but if he was, that doesn't justify naked quotemining.

People are interconnected in networks of discussion, and your reputation can radiate through them even if you try to block primary targets who are quotemining you from seeing your posts. You can't isolate them by doing that. That isn't working for big accounts on this site because it doesn't work.

The 'hit job" part comes in when showing those "actual tweets" involves deceptively quotemining them to argue he meant the opposite position of what he was arguing or failing to mention that a nasty comment was directed at an online stalker who made threats.

Quoting someone out of context to suggest they said something they didn't is a form of lying. When I accuse you of quotemining, I am accusing you of being dishonest, yes.

Perhaps you believe that dishonestly quotemining people is fine if its, like, for a good cause such as making your enemies look bad. But I think that's wrong. I don't think we can cross this bridge.

The quote is a direct reply to *my post* (well, posts as is my wont) which the meme screenshot does not include that provides the necessary context to show it doesn't mean what people sharing the screenshot, like you, say it means. It's classic quotemining.
