Are you going to start posting philosophical discussions using a terminology known only to yourself?

Yes. I read the full story of that, the attempt to assasinate/coup Chavez. I'll post it here if I come across it again.

OK, if you have to, then go for it, I suppose. But how about some discussion for each link about why you think it's important? And not just a short sentence; proper paragraphs and everything. It'll help to stop you coming across as a bit of an idiot.

No. You think it's a thread like that, but you'd be wrong. It's actually a thread where people look at it, wonder why there's no context next to the list of links, and mark you down as a conspiracy nut with the rest of them.

 

Explaining the reasons why you think the links are important might still get you marked as a consiracy nut, but at least you'll be able to feel smug in the knowledge that you put more effort in than most would.

 

And why would I ignore anyone? They might say something interesting. Though I'll admit your sig is about to get ignored.

But what you're not exactly explaining is why an eartquake in Greece is so important, when in the last 30 days there have been at least 1600 earthquakes worldwide. They happen all the time. There's about 30,000 each year. Posting a link that says that there was an earthquake in Greece is like posting a link that says milk comes from cows (and God knows that's a bad analogy to use considering you'll take it as an excuse to whitter on about the benefits of soy-milk again) and expecting people to think it's a bad thing.

'fraidI tend to go with Patch on this one, I don't tend to click on random links at all and I haven't looked at any of those posted at the begining of this thread

If you'd said a bit more about them then I might have taken a peek

Ignore the whiners, the thread is(was) perfectly fine.

The URLs generally give enough information for anyone with an IQ to understand, and where they don't you've provided a brief note.

That along with the thread title give sufficient context/commentary - no need to write redundant stuff.
