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!

"Just not close enough. Of course, she’s not well endowed, so that might be a reason why, but she’s very pointy, and that can make up for things. ;-D

She is hot beyond belief. Of course, she's practically to the left of Castro and a complete moron, Harvard degree notwithstanding.

"au natural, is that like FreeRepubic?

No. That's exactly like how you NEVER want to see Rosie O'Donnell or Hilary Clinton.

What was the source of this thread, again?

Ummm this is honestly a waste of bandwidth and everything else on FR. In order to keep FReepers from getting groundlessly petty with one another...Is there any reason not to pull this thread?

thanks for not making me feel like i’m insane. I would like to think “conservatives” are not so petty about “the rules”. Seems like those chastising my posting are a little too hypocritically “fascist” and way too territorial.

It kinda reminds me of people who make it their duty to inform others when they've posted a duplicate thread when that's what mods are their for.

Well, sure - - that's what they're paid for. And they have nothing better to do anyway, than to remove duplicate posts by morons who can't be botherer doing a quick search. Wheeee.... infinite bandwidth.... And it's free!

Oh, brother. You don't lose sleep worrying about bandwidth do you?

Personally, I don't have a problem with duplicate threads insofar as there might have been a story that was posted earlier in the day that I don't know about because I work during the day and the duplicate brings it to my attention before the mod deletes it or re-directs it.

Natalie Hershslag got into Harvard not because of her stunning academic creds, but because she was a hollywood actress.

What’s with the “quotes” all over the place? Do they “mean” something? Sorry if I am being petty...but the post reads “fine without them...it “really” does. Can one be made to “feel” insane?

“Not trying to make anyone’s life difficult; in fact, I think it makes it easier. I don’t post any BS. I really just don’t get pissant’s beef with me. FR is a comfortable place for me and I feel like I’m helping the movement.”

Since you ask...for a newbie you are over rambunctous. Too many of your posts are series of statements and questions going no where.

A view of your history will show anyone what you do. Items
set forth allegedly for discussion, but often the follow up by you is to get in a negative dig (often several) on conservatives.

Hopefully many will view your history and see what you are all about. What movement are you helping cause it is not obvious.

Watch carefully, though, there is a kitty that lurks around tending the garden and zots plants.

Doc, chill out. I don’t recall any of your posts, but honestly, I don’t fuss over not knowing the source too much. Do I prefer it? I’d have to say yeah, if I thought about it.

He re-posted yours, big deal. He shouldn’t have made a much to-do about it directed at you. I don’t think you should make blanket statements about FR either. It seems like displaced anger to me.

There is the problem with AP, Bloomberg, etc. I watch other innovative posters get around the source problem, but I don’t think there’s one definite way to cover it. How do all of you do it?

I KNOW why pissant doesn’t like it now! You’re putting the “web link” data into the “Source” box.

I find that a bit annoying, but I wouldn’t fuss over it too much. I’m surprised it bothered him that much.

****What are you talking about? You people are scary.

By logical extension I guess that makes you scary.

What’s really a shame is that when she appeared on Letterman back when she was in her early/mid teens, she actually said some Conservative things. Shows how even reasonable people get warped by ultraleft Hollyweird and college.

Uh-huh!

I think the gripe is that you’re directing hits to a blog, presumably yours, via articles that are sourced elsewhere, not being original content to “Conservative Express” at blogspot.

As far as your being one of us, your referring to us as “you people” and “scary” sort of undermines the contention. You’re new, we get a lot of agitators and trolls here, and so you should expect to have to defend yourself for a while, until you have some sort of track record. Especially if you’re going to get into arguments and start posting vanities to do so.
