I say a long message, but It's not like it's pages long or anything :/
For example, if I'm recommending fanfics to someone I usually type the name of the fic, and the author and copy/paste the summary with the rating/word count/etc.
Yesterday when I tried to do this, I had chosen three different fics and the error message came up.
Hrmm... it's *possible* that when the text was copied that it did it in such a way that it included hidden special characters. Perhaps the dashes, or some other character that is translated to an HTML entity when it's stored, so the copy was of the entity and not the character ... like
for the '>>' character (raquo - angle quote (right)), or some other similar character

My computer is set to US English. I understand why using different characters would be a problem like using Hiragana, but I wasn't using any other character or language other than English when I was posting to recommend a fanfic.
I'm using google chrome at the moment, could that be a problem?
I'm using chrome and haven't ran into anything similar doing the same thing. I'm able to force that debug output sometimes, but ... doesn't help much in this case.
If you do run into it again, if you think about saving the text that you were trying to post then go ahead and PM me. I'll get you my e-mail address to send the raw text to. That'll at least give me a general idea of the text that was causing it, and I can go from there.
