I don't know about that, in this case. This is a silly quote, and it is dishonest not to make it clear that Ioannides is being quoted, but this looks like an interesting document and I will try to read it when I have time.
Do that Tim, I'm sure you'll find something "silly" to quote from that document.
Anyway Tim, "dishonest" it was not, I posted the link for everyone to read where it came from and who quoted it. "dishonest" would have been for me to claim it was quoted by someone else.
It was
100% dishonest because you
intentionally quoted a PORTION of someone’s opinion without making any reference to them when it's very clear below who was doing the talking…
General Ioannides stated that everyone should forget
that Makarios was an international figure, that he was a national hero,
that he had served several useful functions and that he was a man of
the cloth; Makarios had become a rotten priest homosexual; he was
perverted, a torturer, a sexual deviate and the owner of half the hotels
on the island. To preserve his position and to continue his activities,
Makarios was willing to sacrifice seventy per cent of the Greek Cypriot
population (only thirty per cent were AKEL) and entire anti-Communist
Turkish Cypriot population. Ioannides asserted Greek Cypriots in
National Guard realized these facts and had begged motherland for
chance to act against Makarios; General claimed that he only assisted after being presented with a fait accompli.
It’s a classic case of deception.
Next time I'll quote all 399 pages of the document GR.
Ermmm...I did that, didn't I?
Makarios had become a rotten priest homosexual; he was

I could have included the above in my quote as well, was it "dishonest of me that I didn't?
By the way, did you read the small wrting in what I posted or are you only capable of reading large letters?

OMG, can you believe it, Ioannides is mentioned afterall.
