STOP THIS INCESSANT POSTING OF ARTICLES!

This is NOT what a debating forum is all about!!!

All we are getting is newspaper articles scrolling away with like 30 views and next to zero comments!

IF YOU DON’T HAVE AN OPINION, (something specific to debate) THEN DO NOT POST ARTICLES JUST FOR THE SAKE OF POSTING!

This is a debating forum not an article REPEATER!

I have an opinion GR.

I think that instead of dictating to others as if you were in charge you should be a little more subtle in your approach.

I expect nothing less than the encouragement of Google robots from someone as pathetic as you Jerry. Perhaps you are even inspired by such dull, repetitive, and uncharismatic behavior! Cut & paste is something you can’t quite grasp and admire, isn’t it Jerry? :evil:

Here’s a reminder of the rule for the cut & paste perpetrators…

“Do not copy-paste large amounts of text from other websites - Quote the relevant part(s) and write something on your own about the topic.”

The cut & paste maniacs can start a SINGLE thread and call it “Press Scan” or something, and just keep adding articles in there but don’t bloody start a dedicated thread for each!

How very dare you ! may be Unkie GR is not nice but really he does not have to be to satisfy the little minds of other posters..

What you see this what you get and you should appreciate that :roll:

Behold the word of GOD.
Now abide by his commandments.

1. Do not post articles just for the sake of it.

2. Abuse posters you do not agree with.

3. Label as pathetic those who dare challenge you.

4. Dedicate most of you day to Cyprus Forum and give praise to GOD.

5.Only respond to others with clever "slick" answers.

There must be a few more but I can't be bothered.

I dare Figgy, he's an opinionated loudmouth keyboard bully. I agree with him sometimes but he has too high an opinion of himself, he thinks he's GOD, do you?

Here's an approach which have used for ages ...

Make a comment, express an opinion, make a point on an article, even if it's just a sentence.

C & P a paragraph, a few lines from the article to illustrate your point.

Cite the URL of the article out of courtesy to the original source/writer and so that those who wish to read the whole article can find it.

I think that you are both right, not F.Head of course, and you are both wrong.
What GR said probably needed saying, but in a less bombastic manner. Posts 29319 does not make him the site manager.
Jerry, in my humble opinion, should not have retaliated. He had made his point initially.

Now if GR had made a sensible courteous proposal like this, well he wouldn't be GR I suppose...
