Examples in hypothetical, of course. You discounted all options, I explained one that was logical

Not the fucking question. You are now making an unfounded assumption to back up the use of cut-and-paste as proper.This does nothing but discredit your argument. Is it literally this hard for people to admit they are wrong?

This is an internet debate, not something to get worked up over. I was giving an example where "cut and paste" IS the correct wording, in counterpoint to your assertion that it would ALWAYS be the wrong words to use. This "unfound assumption" is a presumption that I HAVE seen occur, as well.

No, its not logical. How is copying the post, pasting it into a txt file, cutting the text then pasting it into the post editor fucking logical??
Also, thats not my question

It's logical because "I'm copying it from them, but putting MY copy in to post!"
- so said my great grandparents, and one of my not-great grandparents

Yeah thats copying it not cutting it lolol

'fraid not. The action preceding the paste into the posting was a cut from a text document. The copying into it WAS a copy, but to post it had been a cut. I don't know WHY the text document was needed, the cut was unnecessary; but it is, for some reason, an important distinction - one that it seems cannot be impressed upon you.

You didn't mention cutting the text from a text document in your last comment lol. Also its not logical. Just copy the text from the post and paste it into the post editor.
Next time come up with something that makes sense lol.

I had.. two? comments ago, actually. And as I've said, one of my grandparents does this. I don't find it sensible, but it HAS happened.
Are.. you sure you should be on reddit?

Oh shuuuuuut the fuuuuuuck uuuuup
Okay, so your grandparents do it. So?? Its not logical at all, and as such, op most likely didn't do that.
Actually op didn't do that. Op is a bot that is programmed to copy the contents of posts with a lot of updoots from a long time ago and post said contents.

Was just an example that it DOES happen
If OP is a bot though, fair enough
