Exclamation 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.

Your signature, and quote's that are NOT designed to humiliate, are of course, OK..

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.
