You don't encourage anything, you antagonize!!!! Communicate???? Well cut and paste is not a form of communication.
Copy/paste what?
I would be happy to wager that as a percentage of my threads, the ones that are pasted and linked is lower than most of other members in this forum.
In the beginning, I also added my own comments to the threads and only pasted the relevant sections - as we're now doing - before the trolls in question ran interference and accused me and others of 'selectively quoting' articles, etc.
I've also started a number of threads where I simply typed up what I had to say, but those too were trolled/spammed by our site's moderators.
By the time I would copy/paste an article in full without any comment, the active members of the subforums I posted in were well underway of doing the same, typically quoting newspaper editorials or opinion pieces they found on some rag, such as loonwatch.com.
To be fair, I hardly stopped by Politics anymore because it basically became a "you and Shaf" forum, bantering back and forth over the same old tired subject. Or is that subjects - as in 2.
Hopefully more interesting debates and conversations can come from change and more people can contribute on various topics, not just the one or two that you and Shaf bickered about. Oh, by the way, you may be on your own because Shaf has become bored with it. So change is a comin boy and I hope you can be part of it or be left out. Up to you.
