Libel, slander or just bad form?

A frequent poster on this board has a named quote from another frequent poster in his signature field that proclaims how on some days he feels undecided between denegrating and understanding the pov of terrorists in the world.

Here is the actual quote: I have to admit, there are days where I vacillate between despising terrorists and empathising with them ....

Given the diametrically opposed political views of both posters, I have to think the one who has quoted the other has done so in an admonishing manner. I won't, as usual, name names, but I do wonder how disingenuous it might be to write into one's signature a quote from another poster. Is it libel? Is it slander? Is it just bad form? Regardless, read some of today's political threads, and you'll see the quote this question refers to.

Thanks.
