Edited to replace original incorrect Herzog attribution with my own version that correctly attributes the quote

    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 appreciation 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.

      Ah, figures. I should know better than to post quotes without checking if they’re attributed correctly

        Why don’t you correct it then? (Eg, either delete your post, or replace the linked image with an updated one that attributes the quote correctly.)

        This isn’t facebook; please don’t post years-old misattributed quote memes.

          Would have cost you exactly 0 € to not be a cunt, but here you are.

          I didn’t correct it because I was away from my computer for an extended period – the current version has a different image and is correctly attributed. I didn’t delete it because then the existing conversation in the comments would have also gotten nuked, exactly the same reason the mod didn’t delete it either.
