In graphic design, a pull quote (also known as a lift-out pull quote) is a key phrase, quotation, or excerpt that has been pulled from an article and used as a page layout graphic element, serving to entice readers into the article or to highlight a key topic. It is typically placed in a larger or distinctive typeface and on the same page. Pull quotes are often used in magazine and newspaper articles, annual reports, and brochures, as well as on the web. They can add visual interest to text-heavy pages with few images or illustrations....   

Just so we're clear on what "pull quote" means.

To be clear Bart, what is your feeling about a poster posting a quote, with little or no attribution to authorship, to presumably create the impression of agreement with that poster's opinion. Is it misleading?

If I quoted 6 unattributed quotes that I had made, and implied that there were 6 others who shared my opinion, is that not misleading?

You're a moderator of a political forum, what's your take?

I don't feel misled on this,  Banks.   Everyone knows Shinbone stuff is Larry,  and it's been clear when he's reposting from his articles there.   If he posts some other Shinbone writer,  he mentions that.   I'm not privy to every chat here,  but I have not seen any attempt to mislead.

Larry in the future when you decide to quote yourself, just write, "This is something I wrote in...

It will clear up any confusion about conflicts of interest and would enhance transparency and honest discussion re "pull quotes" and their source.

feel better soon

LMAO

EDIT  Larry still is sticking to his narrative that I did not read it, but some how quoted from it.

neat trick.

Larry I read it.

Larry is putting attribution to everything these days. I take it as a reminder that there’s a broken poster lurking out there ready to add poop to any mole hill he can find till it becomes mountainous, and he tends to do it for no good reason at all. I thought this was a nice way for Larry to hang a scarlet letter on this poster (A is for Asshole, in this case) without being pedantic or boring about it.

The poster took issue with it right away.

Clearly the pooping poster has issues.

So you knew he was quoting from Shinbone when Shinbone was not mentioned in his post or link?

You knew he was quoting himself just from the post?

Fascinating.

But to the question I asked, Larry's unattributed Shinbone aside.

Larry is putting the words "pull quote" on everything he posts, to make light of an issue he rightly got called out about and which eventually he admitted making a mistake. I'm not aware all these "pull quote" posts were authored by Larry. I generally read a line and then scroll to the next post.

My issue Fac, to the extent I have one, is transparency in what gets posted here.

Larry could have taken ownership of the recent 2019 article he posted today and with which he agreed with, but he left ownership undeclared, and only if you read beyond the "pull quote" would you have an idea who wrote the opinion piece.

Larry agreeing with Larry is not a very persuasive argument to me.

Hmm Larry likes what Larry has to say, maybe I should reconsider

LMAO

YMMV

Should Larry re-chew your mushy peas for you as well?

The whole republican platform is unpopular. What is to the right of the main republican stream is disgusting, toxic, and offensive. The republican fringe seizing the party has filled it with worse and less palatable ideas than it had before which is why that highjacking is widely recognized as leading to the unfolding destruction of the republican party and republicanism in any non rabid-delusional form.

The Democratic platform is popular because it leads to better economic outcomes combined with better quality of life in a more just society for all Americans. To the left of mainstream Democratic positions are many positions even more popular with the public than the Democratic mainstream because they are good ideas that will make life even better for most Americans at negligible cost to society.

Secessionist treasonous bastards in the Republican Party are glad to see you running to pump the breaks, Banks, especially since their failed election followed by their failed coup has them kicked off the train entirely. It’s comfort to these craven miscreants that you remain onboard to do their work.

Pooping One,

Don't the URLs say something like exjournalistsunite or whatever,  clearly indicating a Shinbone piece?  Are you really incapable of decoding the URL?   In any case,  the purpose of a pull quote is inviting the reader to click on the piece.   If you don't bother to click,  then what on God's green earth are you griping about?   You're not in the discussion if you aren't reading the link.  If Larry makes an argument, it's contained in the piece,  not in him "agreeing with himself. " You're just  wasting everyone's time.

Fac you just on keep on sucking his dick and Larry can gum his peas.

And I'll mock the both of you for an inability to honestly deal with transparency.

And both of you can swallow your respective loads together.

*This is a pull quote


*”The American Legion Department of Ohio does not hold space for members, veterans, or families of veterans who believe that censoring black history is acceptable behavior,” it also said.

I think you can drop the pull quote line, now.

The quote comes directly from the text.

There is no rule that requires anything further.

The poster is posting an article.

Larry

you can post whatever you like

you can pull whatever you like

you can pull for as long as you like

but the bottom line is Larry agrees with Larry.

BFD

Its disingenuous

and easily remedied by openly taking ownership of an unattributed article that you are agreeing with

I made my point, I expect to be mocked but c'est la woke

I'll let you boys get back to the circle jerk

have fun

As we build and grow, in Merced, and elsewhere, we need to be smart, and we can put the poor people into safe custom apartments with all of the amenities, instead of putting people into boring dangerous trailer parks. Trailer parks are for lazy people with no imagination.

People can build custom small apartments which can be made affordable, and there can be swimming pools, and jacuzzis, and tennis courts, and clubhouses for parties, and there can be golf courses, and parks, and a grocery store with healthy food in every neighborhood, etc.

The community can come in and add community theatre, and opera, and dance, and movie theatres, and concert halls, etc.

In the old days they had public dances with live bands, communities can do that again, people can have parties at their apartment complexes and there can be dancing, etc. And people can dance by the pool like an Annette Funicello movie.

People need to plan wise as they build. And we can build fun stuff instead of ghettos and dangerous trailer parks. And just because a place is cheap does not mean that it has to be dirty and dangerous and ugly. We can build nice places that can still be cheap.

Here is a video from a mahi mahi taco party that we had here at my apartment complex...

https://youtu.be/x4K7dnixw5I

People can have fun, and just because you are poor does not mean that you need to be unhappy and miserable and you should not have to live in a dangerous neighborhood.

We need to plan wise, and we can build fun stuff that people can enjoy.

Salute,

Tony V.

Banks is just pissed I no longer let his keyboard bullying go unaddressed.

You were wrong last year.

You’re wrong now.

Man up and take the “L”

Taking the position everyone else is wrong except you is childish and unbecoming of a person always hollering about honesty.
