"Posting other people's work, unattributed.



I copied and pasted an article which listed the authors.  I would have just posted the link but I posted a link earlier and it did not work.

Now you can accuse me of failing to post a link--- but claiming I posted other peoples work unatrributed is incorrect.....the authors of that article were listed....I went back and checked.

Beyond that I think it is quite obvious that there is a lot of hostility on here regarding my posts....from you, solar and boo boo.

Not sure if that is because of honest misunderstandings or there is something else at play here.

Anyhow being a new poster on here I not familiar with the history of what has transpired on here....maybe I have jumped into the middle of a bunch of 'frayed nerves'....I think for awhile I will cease from responding to anyone and just post things that cannot be considered controversial or taboo in anyway...I am not going to wast my time arguing with people that have some kind of secret agenda they are not willing to talk about honestly.

That's great you posted the content of someone else and just posted their name.  With your logic, I can post a movie here, and just give the name of the studio.

When the names are listed above an article ----most I think would understand that means they wrote the  article....well at least I see what confused you.

How long have you been a moderator?

I forgot to mention not only were the auathors listed but the word 'by' was included......here is what was posted directly above the article..............

Now how you could still fail to see I gave credit for the article is beyond me.

I am beginning to think you read it hurriedly and just missed the ....'by line'.

No big deal really but since as a new poster I think I deserve a little more respect...I think it only right I point out your error.

I wasn't confused.  I am well aware of the liability to the forum when you don't source content.

That's great.  Thanks for clarifying.  I'll be sure to explain to the judge that this was all just a big misunderstanding.

It's important to include the link where the article comes from, because they may own the rights to the article.
Also posting the entire article is a violation of copy right laws, for the same reason, when you post an article, you are stealing revenue from the site that paid for it.
It's best to post a small paragraph and a link, this way if someone want's, they can click the link, in turn building traffic for the site that owns it.

O.K.  My bad heh heh......that should have been pointed out earlier instead of just saying I posted something that was 'unatributed'.

Where could I find a copy of the rules of this board?

SmilinJack, welcome to the forum.
You need to understand we are not your typical forum, we take discussions very seriously here.
We have become a Go To forum for thousands of people looking for the truth, they want answers without having to weed through lib BS, which is why we keep the reins tight around here, and which is why I questioned your intentions where race is concerned,

So just relax and enjoy yourself.

I realize this may seem cold, but we need to make not working less attractive. Case in point, when Newt and his gang brought Clinton "kickin' and screamin'" to welfare reform there was an immediate change of attitude in the country. Obama is doing everything he can to make everyone he can dependent. Say no to extending unemployment benefits and toughen food stamp and welfare laws and regualtions. This will incent folks to get off their asses and look for a job. The only teason the unemployment rate is 7.9% is folks keep dropping out of the workforce as they can do almost as well without working.
There is no doubt that Oblamer wants as many people as possible on the government dole.
Well said Supsalemgr, :thumbsup: I can't figure out why the Dems can't figure this out?

It's not rules, it's the law.
We don't need a set of rules, we expect everyone to follow basic rules of etiquette and to know the law, we are an adult forum and expect everyone to act accordingly.

I'm asking if that's YOUR solution as to why the Republican lost. Are you saying, like so many who have blown thru here, is to go Demonrat Lite to gain voters?  I don't know how to make the question any simpler.

If you are asking me.....then you must not be reading most of my posts....I thought I made it very clear that I am diametrically opposed to that.

In post #23 I explicitly spelled out that the Key to the republicans gaining the white house is for them is to win over the great majority of the White Working Class.

To do this White Working Class values and goals must be the center piece of any future republican platform.

Now I doubt that will happen ...but it remains to be seen....a lot of forces at play withink the republican party....who wins out remains to be seen.

I really think the White Working Class will most likely need to form their own party if they really want any representation in Washington.
