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.

And I will ask you again...were you 'harmed' by it, or better yet, what harm did it cause? That somebody clicked on the link and actually read the story? That upsets you? Why?
