Ive never seen such a bunch of cry babies in my life. You dont like it dont read it nervermind respond to it.

Though i dont like the article post, i see nothing wrong with them. I usually just wait until the discussion becomes clear and then post according to the discussion.
This is what I do . Yes I sometimes add a little snip at the end but I want to see what others think before I spill my guts.

When the thread just has a cut and past article (posted by whoever) and nothing said by the poster it usually isn't an interesting subject anyway. I can't see banning it as a good idea.
You cant say that about my threads. I look for stories or articles I think will cause a good debate and post them. Again if you dont like just ignore it.

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.
This is total bullocks. Yes Jag and I do have a habit of starting debates this way but I think there are few hear who make their own positions more clearly than either of us. You all know where we stand. I dont continue to cut and past after the opening unless Im trying to show where I got something. Damn you guys have me sticking up for Jag now . Whats the org coming to.

As the initial article to launch a discussion it can be useful.

Maybe we should trial a week or backroom formats based on posters like Don Corleone-san. See if we can raise the bar in the debate.
Human cloning is against the law Do we want only one style of posting here. Your advocating boredom.
