I also don't think that we should allow ourselves to be influenced by our being quoted for malicious purposes anywhere else. Even if you do read stuff, just don't let it get to you. If you stand back and view it objectively, the whole thing becomes laughable, and the lies blatantly obvious.
For instance (note to Moderators: if you don't want what follows to remain, feel free to edit), my post above was quoted, and the one line reply was:
Cowardly like your joking about Amanda being stalked on Animal's board.
Now, as of this moment I've made 60 posts on that particular board. Most of them are stupid oneliners, therefore it only took me about 5 minutes to reread them all. Guess what? "Amanda" or "Moe" are not mentioned in a single one of those 60 posts, let alone being mentioned in a joking manner!
When you see stuff like this, it helps to put the whole thing into perspective.
