If we're going back that far, you're cutting out the entire attacking portion of my post, and by extension almost all of your last two posts (due to your new movement nevating the back half of your previous post and precipitating a different response on my part). Generally, it's good etiquette in a fight to not cut back any farther than one post at most, and half a post preferably, but if you want to play hardball with the post cutting, we can do things that way too. Up to you I guess. Things just tend to read better if half the fight isn't nullified by post cuts.

Also, post cutting can't extend any further than your previous post, you get one post to react to changing circumstances, after that the actions are locked in. It's how the whole 'game of chess' thing works, if you set in motion events further back that lead to a killing blow there isn't much an opponent can do about it if they overlook the danger early on, when the move is in its infancy.
