There's nothing funnier in the world than listening to evoluddites and evolosers sniveling and whining about "quote mining".
In real life, there's a very easy way to avoid being quoted as having said something:
Don't Say It!!!!!

Quoting is perfectly appropriate and reasonable; quote mining , however, is the deliberately disingenuous, duplicitous, dishonest practice of quoting only portions of a person's comments out of context in order to make them appear to mean something quite different from what they meant when in context.
I made an animated gif image of Osama Bin Laden anally raping Jesus. Here's what Free Conservatives forum member medved thinks of it "There's nothing funnier in the world"
Thanks medved and may we continue to mock Jebus together for many years to come.
I find this so unfair. Quote mining doesn't work much for us hethens. You can take a fundie's quote out of context, in context, or put it in a totally different one & it still doesn't make any sense whatsoever & ends up on FSTDT.
Boohoo. Ruin our fun will you...
Uh, can someone translate this for me. I was under the impression that it was English, but upon further examination, I was wrong.
Creationist don't just "quote mine" they quote mine out of context. Removed from the body of work one or two sentences can be read as a statement to the other side. Within the body of work they're revealed to be questions to set up/answer the point or the premptive strike against predictable arguments.
Of course, Ironic, coming from a site that continually misrepresents people while complaining when their entire article is reproduced outside their comfort zone.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
