I provided a workable link and left the original 'searchable' character string of the title intact.

BooHoo....so just 'how were you harmed by this?? A couple more readers to an article of perhaps something you don't want somebody to read?

Forum rules, if I remember correctly states to 'use the original title'...well this IS the original title.

Did it 'really' influence you THAT much...??

If you are suggesting that when you post an article, FReepers should use links to see what the article really says, then it sound a great deal as though you are admitting that you do doctor the articles you post.

In this instance, you did not, in fact, post with the original title; you altered the emphasis in the title to give the impression that the President was angry at Israel. This particular instance is not a big deal, but the principle involved is a big principle. If you want to make a point or interpret an article, do the work of writing an accompanying post, maybe actually offer an argument, don't fiddle with the article.

Doing something wrong and then saying "Boo hoo" when someone calls you on it is a very junior-high kind of bluff. Most FReepers, I suspect, have already done junior high and are not likely to find it clever.

Not as much as the POSTED BY: RCW2001 did.

I saw your name and instantly knew there would be an anti Israeli twist to this somehow, someway. LOL

Bush looked pretty insincere to me, on his "withdrawal now" comments, just like he did when he said it the last time, only this time, even less convincing.

Israel will withdraw, when they are done. No big deal. Period.
