MORE CAPITAL LETTERS PLEASE! Do you bitch about every Political Memes post that lacks footnotes? That must keep you very, very busy, professor. It's hilarious that you first complain about no sources and when one is provided you then expect to be given a WA Post subscription so you can verify (and undoubtedly complain about) every word.
Why are the people who never post anything the same people who want to police what everyone else posts?
I want sources because I use them in arguments against people who support the crap that's happening. So yeah, I'm going to bitch when someone posts something I'm interested in without one, but instead puts the burden on every single reader who also wants to prevent the spread of misinformation.
And no I don't expect someone to give me a subscription to WAPO to verify the article. That's just you throwing around yet more hyperbole. And I'm pretty sure you know the vast majority of lemmings are not going to try to get around a pay wall, just to verify a post that already supports their opinion.
Also, get bent!
What a truly enormous ego you have there, professor. Only a raging narcissist would end an error-ridden comment with "You're welcome". Even so, responding to you at all was a bit foolish on my part. You started out mildly entertaining but quickly progressed to boring.
Ultimately I don't give a shit about your insults, your capitalized demands, or anything else you have to say. I'll continue to post exactly as I please, and you can continue to whine bitterly every time you see a post on Lemmy that doesn't meet your standards.
