    I believed as has been done numerous times around the forums that making a quote attributed to somebody and then labeling it as "Fixed" meant that it was edited by the poster and not of original content from the quoted. I did more than adjust a phone number I changed the entire second line. If its the slur you have a problem with I thought I obviously owned that as I wrote it. If it remains ambiguous, I'll state again that this was of my writing, hence the word "fixed". I could have put anything there, but figured "Slut" was of easy and universal recognition with the porn industry.

    This had been my previous experience with you.

    What apology, all I saw were parting shots including one half masked in apology.

    Well if you want to be taken seriously those parting shots in the veiled apology would not have taken place, nor would this have found its way into the discussion. This dishonesty even in apology made me question your academic honesty, that of the exercise of the academic such as our discussions and debates here in the pursuit of understanding, not of an academic career or accumulation of pedigree.

    I could see how what I wrote could be taken as such, but this was not the case and if truly taken as such I offer apologies for the misunderstanding.
