So here's some.
You quoted me twice in the last video.
When you quote someone it is basic courtesy to identify the
author. If you feel you can't do that even for something that
was said in public in the first place, that usually means you
are misrepresenting the author in some way, and know it.
Also when you quote anyone, provide the context. And do it
correctly. When I wrote
If a developer holds some views that go against those
of the
average user he will have some very good reasons for that. There
is *no reason at all* to assume that the average user's ideas
are 'the right ones'.
first that was part of a much wider discussion, and second, the
phrase 'the right ones' was in single quotes. You didn't mention
either.
