I understand that if I read an article I want to share, I must post a link.
If I am refering to an editorial to open a conversation it is a courtesy to post a link.
There is a difference, in one, I'm "breaking news" to the group and verification is important. In the other I'm commenting on someone else's commentary and asking others to follow suit.
If you have had issues with libelous posts, feel free to contact the admin and take action to sue the offender. I agree that posting scandalous comments about someone behind the cloak of a BB is lousy and should be considered a crime. OTOH, there are enough insiders in the industry here that sometimes a poster gets real, true info before it breaks in the trades. (I knew about the Excelsior story last Tue before any sites had it up but saw fit NOT to post it.) I posted above about some people I saw at AQU on sat. If any of them wanted they could come on here and deny that they were within 100 miles of AQU on Sat and attempt to make a liar of me. What could I do?
