This has been reported for violating rule 2: "No misinformation", as the quote was misattributed.

The full rule:

Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.

OP admitted they didn't double check the author of the quote. This means it was not intentional.

Leaving it up.

I'll just make a new one (this isn't oc) when I get home but that'll be 10h at least. It's OK to nuke this since it is sorta misinfo, although I didn't know it when I posted it

Nah. That would nuke all the back-and-forth found here. I'd rather keep the discussion up.

I have a deep appreciate for this level of discernment. Moderating posts and their discussions in good-faith and abiding by the spirit/intention of the rules instead of strict enforcement by letter fosters community trust and makes it more difficult to argue against removals/bans when they do happen.

Thanks for volunteering and keeping the lights on.
