Does anyone care what the "source" is?

[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!

[DrGop0821]

and you are all insane and radical and no better than the Leftist lunatic nutjobs we are all supposed be united against!

Only you are just as radical! Jesus! Get off my back! Check my posts! I’m one of the good guys!

Why are you all attacking me, besides the fact that I “invaded” your “sacred” ground.

Not trying to cause waves; cant we just unite?

“You people are insane and frankly hypocrites, really.”

Uhhhmmmm. Did you notice you posted that to yourself?

This ain’t DU. Don’t take the Son of the Lord’s name in vain here.

> Awww.... come on... this is fun. Kinda like the gladiators and stuff. Pretty obvious he’s seriously not up to the task.

True, true.

But he's just so....so.... egregious!! ;-)

Okay, I'll poke him a little more gently.

[philetus]

Just apologize,post sources, and leave the caffine to the big boys.

Jeez Louise, you're the Rodney King of "moderate" Republicans, aren't you?

[DrGop0821]

Good advice. I think I will. Wow. Had no idea this would cause so much unrest.

I am so sorry.

[dayglored]

> Couldn’t help myself. It’s a rare thing to get IBTZ.

Yeah, that's true.

Many's the time I've read a thread and by the time I said to myself, "Wow, this one is great!" and hit "Reload" to make sure I had all the current comments, it got pulled...

This thread surely has been noticed, so I think our troll is being allowed to play himself out on the line for a while longer.

I guess I don’t understand the nature of pissant’s complaint. I just did a search of your posts and they all contain a link which takes you to whatever blog contains the story.

When I look up to see where the posted article is from, I don't want to decipher the URL or click on the link, I want to be able to glance quickly where the article came from. Short and sweet.

> Wow. Had no idea this would cause so much unrest. I am so sorry.

Let me be the first to accept your apology.

Now, please read the many helpful threads on how to post, and what FR's traditions are about.

it's really great reading.

And Welcome to FR.

We might end up with a Youtube vid where his eyes start spinnin round and round, then his hair catches fire or something!

That way, we can end up on Coast to Coast with Art Bell.

But I will agree with him on one point - there is a huge amount of contention amongst many “conservatives”, and it doesn’t help things.

Great technique there DrGop, push away then blame the victim.

Seriously, if you are not a troll just chill out for a few weeks and come back with a whole new perspective.

[Oztrich Boy]

Yes the source is very very important. 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.

OTOH most people don't take a bit of notice and take as absolute truth reports from less than totally unreliable sources.

One thing about noobs, they never fail to always put their heads where it don't belong....

[CAluvdubya]

That’s exactly my point. 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.

I know I'm playing catch up here but really DrGop. you need to sit back and learn some of the FR etiquette before posting......such as: when mentioning a posters name in a post, it is considered a courtesy to ping them (add their name in the 'to' box as I have done) to the post or thread.

Already posted. Try the search function.

Well, I agree that there's plenty of disagreement, but I would say that as long as it's on philosophical points, political points, etc. it helps rather than hurts.

Getting personal and nasty, not so helpful.

But I LOVE the fact that there are disparate opinions on FR, and that they are (within wide bounds) tolerated and discussed.

If I wanted an echo chamber for my own opinions, there are plenty of other forums for that.

FreeRepublic is the best, in part because it has room for arguments among reasonable people who differ.

Shouldn’t this be in breaking news?
