Even exceptions require due diligence.

Should you meet a man of terrible crimes,

do not draw your sword, do not force him to draw.

Do not cut, do not let him cut.

Do not kill and do not be killed.

Teach him kindly and lead him to be a better man. Only if he will not be led, cut him down with a regretful stroke and send him to Buddha.

Forgive my unsolicited advice. Perhaps you know this already but if you want the blockquote to be unbroken you have to put a > on the blank lines as well.

> This is a paragraph. > > And this is another paragraph.

This is a paragraph.

And this is another paragraph.

The markdown parser also treats a hyphen plus space at the start of the line as a bullet. If you want an en dash you use two hyphens. Three gets you an em dash.

  Just for entertainment, I’m going to assume your post was a Markdown equivalent of “teaching kindly”
