The following quotes were heavily upvoted, but then turned out to be made by a Will Newsome sockpuppet who edited the quote afterward. The original comments have been banned. The quotes are as follows:

If dying after a billion years doesn't sound sad to you, it's because you lack a thousand-year-old brain that can make trillion-year plans.

— Aristosophy

One wish can achieve as much as you want. What the genie is really offering is three rounds of feedback.

— Aristosophy

If anyone objects to this policy response, please PM me so as to not feed the troll.

Edited how?

If I remember correctly the second quote was edited to be something along the lines of "will_newsome is awesome."

That is cute.. no? More childish than evil. He should just be warned that's trolling.

There really should be a comment edit history feature. Maybe it only activates once a comment reaches +10 karma.
