    What's more, I can think of two people that Idaho tends to agree with, that engage in the exact same practice, and I find it notable that we're focusing on Gawain.

    I think Gawain's posts start a LOT of discussion on a topic. Heck, I find myself in disagreement with them a lot of time, and there's times when I'm in a rush and once I see a C&P post, I just hit back on my browser.

    The copyright issue is another matter, so I'll wait to hear what Tosa-sama has to say on that matter. But I do think it's unfair to single out some people who do it and not all.

    The point is that he doesn't have a position. He is merely a nodding dog to a variety of dull predictable sources that he C&Ps from and then adds a platitude at the end.
    Its pretty amazing that for a man without a postiton I came in third in the best debator at the org and aways score high in such polls. This is indeed a personal attack and an unfounded one. Jeez others here accuse e of being the farthest person to the right on the org. Not bad for someone without a position.

    Coca Cola is a very indentifiable and unbiquitous brand - that doesn't make the product worthwhile.

    Panzer - go ahead and suggest banning some particular type of thread that I always post... er.. whatever that is.

    I have no problem with Gawain posting threads - I have a problem with the debateless single sentence underneath a C&P odessey. I would prefer you to actually engage in the debate you have congratulated yourself for being so good at. Most of the time you use someone elses opinion as a way of not presenting for yourself. You are not the only culprit. JAG seems to be doing this increasingly, and I also dislike those threads - but at least the pointless original sentence is "this is interesting" rather than "this prooves that all libarals (sic) are wrong" or some such drivel.
