I am under no obligation to treat a wildly-biased, horseshit opinion blog masquerading as real journalism like a serious source simply because ignorant fuckstains like you want to pretend it is just because it says what you want to hear.
If only there were some way to convey that message - politely, of course - to everyone on this board. Something along the line of "Please (A) provide links to (B) primary sources (i.e., not Weasel Zippers) only." And "blogs are opinions with, very often, only a tenuous and tangential relationship to facts."
1) It's not my job to teach you idiots how to post effectively.
2) It's not my job to teach you idiots how to think effectively.
3) Being polite to morons is a waste of time and energy in which I do not wish to engage.
If you want respect, earn it. All demanding it accomplishes is to demonstrate how little you deserve it. It's long past time someone taught you leftist wimps that lesson. Butch up, buttercup.
