Does anyone care what the "source" is?

Posted on 04/12/2009 10:19:35 PM PDT by DrGop0821

I'm just curious. Does it matter that to anyone that I don't fill in the "source" part of posts? Is it not enough that I give the URL? Does anyone except pissant give a damn?

Get off my back, pissant! Just trying to do my part to save conservatism and fight Obamunism.

Your pettiness about formatting gives this whole site a bad name.

Not trying to start a fight; but get over yourself with the "proper posting" crap already!

It seems to me that a clear indication of the source has a LEGAL (IANAL) implication on FR, there are legal restrictions on posting from various sources and if the sources field is empty or obfuscated with an unreadable URL then the mods and others don’t know whether this is a LEGAL and proper post.

Also: Always grasp things by the smooth handle -Thomas Jefferson.

"...Anyway, it doesn't bother me..."

Me neither: If I need to view an omitted source, I copy a key phrase and Google it.

We're smart enough to give some slack to a newbie.

Excuse me, but I believe you forgot to post the source on this thread.

Could you please for future postings put the source in the “Source” box?

Thank you.

It's time you were introduced to our Saviour. 

"You people are insane and frankly hypocrites, really. You’re getting upset over a post that was posted to protest “Free Republic Protocol”. Stop being such a de facto fraternity and start doing something to fight back against the radical Liberal Obaminstic takeover of America.

the very fact that you all want to attack me is the reason why conservatism is a dying breed.

I tried to help, but you all just proved my efforts useless.

You all need to get a life and get over yourselves. Seriously."

I hope you had the answer for this one already, but I will try:

Source url will allow people to verify the story. Some people post phony stories or plagerized versions, by posting the url we see where the information came from

Okay, I spotted your rant... so I went back and looked at some of the posts. And yes, the Free Republic form has blanks to fill in. The easy answer is fill in the blanks and give the information. The blank spots in the “form” are for filling in. They wouldn’t be put there just so you could leave out all the information.... LOL...

Okay, just because you have trouble “living your life” is no reason to come to Free Republic and try to make us into an image of “you”.... LOL...

You said in answer to JSteff — What are you talking about? You people are scary.

Well, I hope the DU is getting scared... LOL...

===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== ===== =====

And then you said — I’m one of you; don’t you get it?

Ding, ding, ding.... < sound of alarms going off >

Infiltrator Alert! Infiltrator Alert!

Okay, where’s the button to turn off the alarm? This may not be an infiltrator but simply a “whiney post” from a frustrated wanna-be FReeper...

You said — I would like to think “conservatives” are not so petty about “the rules”.

It’s the rules that makes us better than the DU... :-)

You're not the one to be sounding alarms regarding 'infiltrators', ST. Your deceit has been registered and recorded:

To: MHGinTN; mylife; Admin Moderator

{MHGinTN}And then — “You were caught in your deceit when you tried to use the story of the Good Samaritan as if ‘you knew your Bible’, yet you weren’t even familiar enough with the story to know the Good Samaritan’s role in the story. You’re a deceiver.”
{Star Traveler}So you say, but I don’t. …

So, let’s take a look, to see if you were deceiving readers with your faux Bible lesson!

[Star Traveler: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2154244/posts?q=1&;page=305] You said — “He didn’t say anything about being nice to His enemies.” I think he did, in regards to the question of “Who is my neighbor” and who helped the injured Samaritan along the road (Samaritans were the enemies of Israel...).... I think Jesus made the point very well…

Was this merely a typo? Well, you repeated the error, so we can’t call the initial error a typo; you just aren’t what you pretend to be. But, in typical liars bluff not knowing when to keep quiet in your initial deceit, you tried to dismiss my calling you out:

To: Star Traveler
When you actually learn whom the Samaritans were and their relationship to the ‘in tribe’ of Jerusalem, perhaps you’ll have matured sufficiently to not make large religious claims based on flawed references.

Suffice it to say, if you studied the Bible and knew your facts …
It appears you have no knowledge of the Bible or knowledge of Jesus, and that’s a major problem in even understanding what Jesus said…
341 posted on Thursday, December 25, 2008 9:11:52 PM by Star Traveler

To: MHGinTN
And Jesus made that an express example of the question of “Who is my neighbor” in giving the example of helping the Samaritan who was passed by on the road, by everyone else. …
You obviously are like the Pharisees and the Sadducees who were always against Jesus and what He said, time and time again. I see we have them here on this forum, too — in spite of what the Bible tells Christians to do…

To: Star Traveler From your #305 post, you did't even know that the Good Smaritan was the one who stopped to help the injured traveler! You're a fraud, a typical poseur trying to quote the Bible to manipulate readers. Here is your exact sentence from #305:
Star Traveler: I think he did, in regards to the question of “Who is my neighbor” and who helped the injured Samaritan along the road (Samaritans were the enemies of Israel...)

You said — “You’re a fraud, a typical poseur trying to quote the Bible to manipulate readers.”
It’s the exact same thing I’ve been posting, from the Bible, since the beginning on Free Republic. You’ll find no difference from Clinton, to Bush to Obama... You just don’t like the content of what is being posted, and that’s your problem. But, I won’t be changing my posting.

The Samaritan was the person who helped. I’ll quote the section for you... Luke 10:25-37

369 posted on Thursday, December 25, 2008 9:54:35 PM by Star Traveler

Yes, I’d say you’re a fraud. You’ve tried to scam readers by quoting Bible verses you don’t even have enough familiarity with to know the role of the story participants, and you tried to twist your lie into stating something opposite of what you stated.

I don't care much for people signing on to ONLY promote their blog and not carry on a discussion about the merits of their post. IMO, they are parasites feeding off the host.

I agree! This one is even stomping his feet because s/he doesn't want to post according to forum guidelines...sheesh.

A lot of people here decide not to read an article if it is not from a source they already feel pretty sure they’ll agree with.

Well, actually, I use it to ignore articles from WND, NewsMax, and a few others. I also use it to identify blog pimping.

A great way to keep from wasting my time.
