Is it permissable to copy quotations from one web site and post in another??

I can't see why not.

What do you have in mind?

It was just that a certain person has taken quotes from myself and others to create an entirely different spin on events

I'd say strictly speaking, no. Especially if the site or page carries a copyright notice. That said unless it's of great commercial value or literary merit, most times you'd get away with it.

The easiest thing is to ask permission to use it. I've done it many times for the wiki. If you state it's a not for profit, non commercial site, and offer a credit (although in the case of the wiki we don't offer links), most people are only too pleased to help.

oops too late

I'm confused now!

Why is it too late?

If you take exception to it ask for it to be deleted.

Ah, just cottoned on ... personally I'd just ignore it. Making a scene will just highlight and prolong the issue.

Here's a question then....who would you feel if messages via the PM service were published on the open forum without permission. Something I take great offence at but have so far not taken any action over other than to PM the person they were sent to?

I think I will take heed of the old biblical quote 'turn the other cheek'

Wish I had a simple answer, wouldn't be happy myself, but glad you're not responding in kind.

Personally, id have no issue with it : )

The news papers are full of times when people hit 'send' when they really should have taken a moment.

I once managed to text a dreadlocked friend something that was supposed to go to my new girlfriend! There's always a risk, even with comms that are supposed to be way more 'private' than internet chat forums!

Its like gossiping behind closed doors - people can still hear. If you dont want people to know whatever deeply private comments you may be making, then, well, dont make them.

There probably is more to life than biodiesel!

(not to mention gossiping behind closed doors)

alls fair in love and war, this has internet stamped all over it

Yet again I must have missed all the fun. I started reading that thread and lost intrest early on. I've just re-read it ... what did I miss and what got deleted?

Must try and spend more time on forums.
