I answer when questions seem sincere, so here goes. CRYER's returns of serves were worthy of what many DUers could perform, given our familiarity with clear-eyed facts and calling out wingnut b.s.

A constant gripe here is about posts without context. I'll take pride that I almost always provide context, and consider it a voluntary service, sometimes varying in length because of circumstances. But none of my or anybody's posts oblige others to be enticed to delve into them. Not that anybody should know or care about my peeves, but fyi I've often griped about posters who find it necessary to pronounce their displeasure about thread topics, sabotaging frivolously instead of finding any of the thousands of threads readily accessible to their liking.

I've also beefed when posters demand that everything be served up on a silver platter without their slightest effort to Google or look for a definition or being oblivious to what the topic is when the references have been widespread in current news and on the board.

I have no idea what a "high road video" is or that "another" means it's of such vexing frequency.

If somebody isn't enticed enough, it's up to them, it' not my job, and it's preferable that they skip on by without dumping on the thread that whatever few might like.
