No, it appears that Davin Yap said it.  Anything with the same line prefix
was written by the same person; therefore, the words "scumbags from hell"
were written by the same person who wrote "gft_robert writes:".  The words
"So and so writes:" are normally indented one level less than the quote to
which it refers.  Whatever it is you wrote was edited out (in which case,
the attribution should have been removed).
