This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Look. English is not your first language. I get that. But you are 
allowing your debility to make an ass of you.
Also, didn't you just chide me for trimming messages for emphasis? Why 
did you drop the quotation from Roy that I offered to further illustrate 
what I was saying?
