[QUOTE]Originally posted by Swenet: [QB] Not sure which rule you mean. What I'm talking about is posts that match the following description: *A quote is dropped in the middle of nowhere with no commentary. *There is no way to understand what the poster is trying to say with the information. *The post seems to respond to what someone else is saying but doesn't make it clear how the post relates to anything in the conversation (sometimes deliberately to not have to defend the position the person is taking). *Alternatively, the quote with no commentary may not respond to what someone is saying, but it may just be intended say something controversial in a roundabout way. And in a way that allows them to deny that is what they're doing when backtracking suits them. I have no problem with just dropping information to inform, with no further commentary. I don't want people to think that is my beef. I have a problem when people are not upfront with an agenda they may have, and when they're using quotes to be able to push information they can't defend or even articulate in their own words. The problem with posting information you can't defend is how can you possibly push information adamantly over many years when you don't even understand it? These posts with no commentary are used to give dated, misleading or false information a platform. Notice also that most people on this forum state clearly what their positions are. You can compare most people's views here with new information because they're upfront about their predictions (at least initially). They don't hide behind quotes or big name researchers while tacitly pushing false information year in year out. That is how it should be for everyone, no exceptions. A rule would make it clear to any habitual offenders that what they're doing is trolling. [/QB][/QUOTE]
