While its a long-standing tradition at FR to skip reading the entire linked article and pontificating at length with a dearth of information, if you skip even reading the excerpt and request/demand “proof” of something and its provided in short order referencing the excerpt you ignored, its considered polite to say “Oops - thanks” and then go on with your life.
You’ll feel better, the poster will feel better and I’ll feel better knowing a FReeper may, in the future, get past the headline before forcing someone to point out the obvious.
Have a nice day. Sorry. I hate Mondays. ;-)
“”pontificating at length with a dearth of information””
Why would you call two questions “pontificating at length?” Maybe you better skip Mondays from now on. I read what was at the link and I’m sorry but I didn’t see any twitter by anyone. Don’t suppose you could cut and paste it from the article to back up your reprimand?
On the other hand - is this what you call italics?
“”U.S. Lawyer William McSwain mentioned in a tweet that the sheer quantity of cocaine may have killed “hundreds of thousands” of individuals. A federal criminal investigation into the alleged smuggling working is ongoing.””
Good grief - what a messed up thread....I guess it’s “unread” who said the tweet was in italics...once the ball started rolling, it just gathered more idiotic posts...I’m too tired to sort through it but if my posts don’t apply to you, just shift them over to unread.... My husband and I have been knee deep in doctor appointments for a week with more upcoming and I wonder if I’m coming or going. I thought this was one place I could stay out of trouble! Sorry if I stepped on toes...
