Some conservative posters hated when At Ease did the same exact thing, yet nary a peep here.

Edited two posts together... I don't think I changed the intention or author

This once again shows that you don't remotely understand what people say...

OO has HUNDREDS of posts with meaningful content. Yes, he often starts conversations with an edited link (which clearly shows his opinion of the content) but for you to act as if that is all he does is a lie, and YOU know it.

That is ALL that At Ease did... and you know that as well

At Ease did contribute as well, but you're right that it wasn't nearly as much as OO.

I didn't realize that the issue was the imbalance, I thought it was the lack of any additional thoughts on the matter. I see that the fly-by posting is A-OK so long as you contribute in other ways.

I truly thought people were annoyed by the act of posting a link to an article without any other information.

edit: just realized you took some liberties with your response and really threw a hand grenade. Someone pee in your Cheerios?'
I did not act like this was all he does - it was clear that I was talking about a type of post he makes, which are quite frequent. Ham, why don't you just put me on ignore if you feel the need to step in like this and escalate the situation?

The "all you do" was clearly in reference to these specific types of posts, not indicating that OO does nothing but make posts like that. To make the jump you did ignores all of the other posts in that thread and the fact that I am connected to reality and have many back and forths with OO. But the kind of posts I was criticizing are worth criticizing, IMO.

You could count the total number of AE posts with more than a hyperlink as less than 10-15.

If you discounted a one sentence attack following from AE, those 4-50 shrank to possibly a number you could count on one hand.

Hambone was spot on in his characterization of the 'post-style' of AE.

To denote OO as anywhere in the same ballpark as AE and his 'style' takes some real chutzpah.

What %age of OO posts are the one line hyperlink style? I would say less than 4-5%.

People are annoyed at posting one hyperlink to a small degree. I can live with it in the less than 5% realm. When it is 98% of the posts in that style, that is when one talks about it. As I did, mind you.

To equate OO overall to AE is just vapid.

As the *major* critic of AE on here, the issue wasnt the mere presence of one line hyperlinks -- it was that he did them to the exclusion of every manner else. So lad, when you note the 'complaints' about it above, at least note the true complaint as opposed to *your* spin on it.
