No, more like he keeps asking why nobody pays attention to his links and this is their answer and the discussion keeps getting dragged out over and over even though nothing new is learned or forms from each time the discussion arises.

It's not like they went out of their way to chew him out for posting like that, they just gave him the honest answer to his question.

I don't care, I don't click links in general. Not unless the discussion around it intrigues me. Staying woke is tiring and I don't like coffee.

I didn't ask elph WHY he didn't acknowledge my earlier posting of his story, I simply pointed out that the story had already been brought up in this thread.

I dunno, I only occasionally look in this thread so I don't know the whole story. I just remember seeing them throw the **** for what the links look like and getting pretty worked up about it.

I should copy and past all 211 pages of my news links.

That's pretty nit picky.

I get that you want credit for being the first to post the news, I just don't get why it matters so much.

Majority of it is trolling if you want to be honest.

^ Yeah, that is flat-out annoying! I think we should all give credit where we can when we are following up on someone else's rec - news items not so much perhaps.

Nothing wrong with [MERIT]'s links in my view. There's no obligation to click on them, but they are there if we want. If not, I have a "scroll" facility and can move on to something else.

It's 99% a vicious cycle of people who don't like Merit baiting him and him falling for it, and Lucem's right to say that that dog and pony show of retardation's gotten a bit stale after the 1000th time.
