I don't think you understand what "cherry picking" and "in context" mean.

Dancing around the page and taking bits and pieces of a sentence that appeal to you or you think support your argument (exactly like you did) is cherry picking.

All I did was show the surrounding paragraph for context of the partial quote. This called "putting it into context". If you don't understand that I have nothing for you.

I assume you are trying to troll me in some way again. This is becoming a really sad habit of yours. It won't work.
