Your pettiness about formatting gives this whole site a bad name.

That may be going a little overboard?

If it's even possible to go a "little" overboard.

Anyway, it doesn't bother me.

I would just ignore pissant. Consider the source if you will.

Will somebody please tell me why Natalie Portman is running for Senator? I thought she already was Senator...

Yes the source is very very important. A lot of people here decide not to read an article if it is not from a source they already feel pretty sure they’ll agree with.

I for one care very much for the source. Since 1) the source of this particular post is the person who posted it and 2) the poster has little to say except engage in a very personal, petty, non-topical rant, I can’t think of a thread that is more worthy of being pulled.

“Not trying to start a fight; but get over yourself with the “proper posting” crap already!”

Without trying to sound like Andy Rooney, “Did you ever notice that when a guy says “Not trying to start a fight;” it’s always just before the thing that he says that tries to start a fight?”

newbies starting fights is considered poor form on FR. Even worse is calling out someone by name and not pinging them to the thread. You won’t last here if you keep it up.

Yes, I care. I like to go back to the original source and judge them for credibility. Some sources are more reliable and some are just plain fiction writers. I like to make up my own mind.

I guess I don’t understand the nature of pissant’s complaint. I just did a search of your posts and they all contain a link which takes you to whatever blog contains the story.

Some people may not like to click on a URL that looks like a random alphanumeric string because they fear opening a link which may contain a virus or malware, or maybe is just a pop-up pest site. Whatever. Here’s a solution: Fill in the friggin’ source. That’s what the space is there for.

The source is important, unless you are writing the article yourself then you can put your name there as the source.

“Does it matter that to anyone that I don't fill in the “source” part of posts?”

I think one of the complaints you will find on this forum regards people who come into this country and want all of us who were already here to acculturate ourselves to their newcomer ways instead of the other way around.

You came into FreeRepublic less than two months ago.

Think about the difference between Washington Post and WND. We really do need to see the source, just to be able to judge what the content of the article may contain bias, BS, or just plain fabrication. :D
