[responding to a post full of links on the subject of one Jonathan Wells and his professional performance]

You have not yet learned how to copy and paste have you? You seem to think this thread is a private discussion between yourself and whoever you are responding to.

I do not favor cluttering up a thread with a mass of copied/pasted material except when there is no other way of ensuring that people see. You seem to think that no one but you can click a link. OK, sometimes you act as if you can't click a link.

This is silly. You can click a link; anybody can click a link. Making links gives people options about what they want to explore in depth and what they fly over.

You do not need to mass copy anything. What you need to do is copy and paste the paragraph that backs up the point you are trying to make and link to the rest. It is unfair to readers to make them look through a long article for the point you are trying to make. That is why most people will not click on a link and therefore are not fit for a public discussion.
