No offence, but your 'thoughts' here are actually direct quotes from How it Works in the Big Book of AA. It should be cited as such.

Not sure you listened to it. I actually reference aa in the quote and why it's relavent to what I am speaking about.

I did not listen to anything, I just read the post and under 'your thoughts' are uncited quotes from the big book. One shouldn't have to listen to the attached audio to learn that those are quotations, not your own thoughts as they are labelled. Just saying. These are standards of quality we should all strive to follow.

It's pretty clear I am referring to a quote. Every week I comment on the quote. This is the point of this content.

No, it is not clear. You have a section titled "Quote" and then a subsequent section titled "My thoughts" under which is another quote, unlabeled as such. That title infers that they are indeed your own thoughts. Not everyone who stumbles upon your post is aware of the nuanced context you speak of. It is such an obvious thing and an easy fix so I really do not understand your resistance.

Okay point taken. To make everyone comfortable I added that to the article to reflect the audio, and like it says in the post I am now going to let it go. You are correct that not everyone might understand that so now it should be clear to everyone. Thanks for reading the segment and I appreciate you sending me this.
