I couldnt make out the last sentence of the article, sometimes I cant figure out what they are trying to say in the translation..

WTF kind of lame excuse is that? It doesn't make sense to YOU, so you excerpt one sentence out of a horror story and waste everyone's time by making them track it down?

I had no problem making sense of it. The families of those about to be executed are being pressured to disavow them:

It's to note that families of many of the arrested, such as the Scholars of Shiraz, have been pressured to cut any contact with their relatives contacts and ask to doesn't been called anymore for their sake.

And I could have made sense of it RIGHT HERE without having to go click repeatedly on a link that went nowhere for half an hour for *one sentence* you didn't like.

You go, hellin! I'm really getting sick of these Lucianne ship-jumpers excerpting everything they post.

S.U.E.!!

c'mon, no big deal...I'm very thankful when people post important news. A simple reminder about the excerpt guidelines would suffice.

Geez Hellin..... you rightfully bonked me the other day for unnecessary excerpting, and I thanked you and really appreciated the clarification of the sources that we are required to excerpt.

But in this case, I think you must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. Yes, it's nicer when people don't excerpt, but you shouldn't chew them out for it. At least they posted this important news, which came from a non-mainstream source... In fact, 99% of us probably never would have found this article on our own.

I completely agree that posting full articles is helpful for all of us who read the articles. But we should also be VERY grateful to those few people who continually seek out and post the news that we would otherwise never see. They are generously taking their own time to post the article for everyone else, and that deserves a THANK YOU (not a butt-whoopin'). :-)

Here's hoping you wake up on the other side of the bed tomorrow morning. And here's hoping for fewer and fewer unnecessary excerpts in the future! ;-)
