(snipped)
Net Ettiquette states that you SHOULD snip all but the part to which you
are replying. IMO, that part was:
had you simply called Jerry Bibuld ... a ****ing moron.

The three dots "..." indicate that this is *not* a complete or accurate quote.
If a publisher was habitually to pull a similar stunt by quoting only *part*
of a review of a book on its dustjacket, like this:

"This book is...very good..."
Instead of what the reviewer actually wrote:
"This book is not very good at all."
...then that publisher would soon be out of business.

This is *exactly* what StanB did to Bourbaki.

Actually, it's what StanB did in snipping Bill Brock's post to Bourbaki.

Now NoMo is suggesting: "just a joke".
I leave it to the reader to decide.

Evidently, StanB intended to make a 'joke' aimed at Jerome Bibuld.
But StanB also objects to Bill Brock's comment that Tim Hanke has made
'racist remarks' here, so that part was snipped.
