Personally the thing about copying and pasting an article is not something that I have a problem per se, it's more the continuous preaching - instead of stimulating debate - on what is ultimately a medium that doesn't offer any tools for tactics and actions that would effectively follow up the preaching itself.
This is not to say that tesla69 or SFAD shouldn't post whatever passed through their mind on a section of this forum that has much less noble garbage on it than what they post anyway, it's just that you can't really complain if these threads get targeted by anyone who:
1 - Doesn't want to chat about any of those issues at the time of posting.
2 - Would love to follow up on what's been thrown at them, but ultimately are confonted by whatever pollutes a thread that isn't able to invite posters into it who are able to moderate it (i.e. with intelligent and stimulating points) because that's generally the very nature of how communication works on public forums' threads: fragmented, unpredictably stagnant and schizophrenically paced, all things that contribute to making a political debate on here time consuming/wasting.
