Is it a violation of "the rules" to post excerpts from a PM without attributing it so the person's ID remains private?

Or maybe just paraphrase.

OK, paraphrasing:

"Why don't human rights types care about the Americans who are tortured and killed by terrorists?

All they care about are war crimes committed by a tiny minority of Americans.

Muslims need to learn that if they torture and kill Americans they will 'reap what they sow.'"

("Reap what they sow" is a direct quote.) (Direct quote given because it's the money quote.)

I've given up trying to respond, it's like playing whack-a-mole.

They make argument #1, I give reply #1.

They make argument #2, I give reply #2.

They make argument #3, I give reply #3.

Then they make argument #1 again.

(Whack-a-mole analogy stolen from John Derbyshire talking about creationists.)

(Posted here because it supports my argument that if it's "us against them" I don't care to be in their number.)
