How about you at least give us all the courtesy of listening to your take on this (7-year-old) issue, rather than just posting articles without taking a stance yourself?

Interesting take, given that you comment only on the motivations of the poster and not on the topic itself (exactly like the poster).
Someone uploading an article / originating a thread has, I think, more of a duty to act responsibly.
I was, in essence, raising both hands in order to make a point of order (see "Robert's Rules of Order"). According to "Robert's Rules of Order," such a motion (i.e., a point of order) does not have to refer to the subject at hand - i.e., the person calling attention to a point of order need not "take a stance" on the issue. He might instead note that, e.g., the microphone is too weak for people in the back of the auditorium to understand the debate, that someone should close the doors because of the awful draft, etc.
In fact, the standards here at Free Republic are even laxer - posters often comment only upon, e.g., the irrelevancy of the topic; the suspicious nature of a newbie initiating five threads in ten minutes, all on the same nine-year-old topic; etc.
You have a problem with that?
