Okay retards. Lookie here: I just used the quick quote button. Because some of you are completely inept with common internet usage, the quick quote button is immediately to the right of the quote button. It looks like a set of close quotation marks with a plus sign. It allows you to quote a selection outside of the thread you’re currently in. You can use your mouse to select it. Your mouse is the thing that controls the pointer… uh the little arrow on the screen. Okay so far?
Now you people do understand that when you quote someone, you don’t also list everyone they’ve quoted, right? It just shows the actual text they wrote and not anything they’ve quoted. In this example, this shows just Bricker’s quote and nothing by Voyager, who’s question he was answering.
Now in this case, you can click on the little arrow next to Bricker’s name to go to the thread directly. I know, I just blew your minds, because you people seem to have the fucking technical acumen of my grandmother.
What I did, was link to his post directly. Because what you stupid fucking apologists for Bricker aren’t realizing is there is no issue of context. He answered a question directly. It’s not a chunk of a larger quote or him being all Socratic and wise. He’s a fucking asshole.
So the difference is I linked to his post, rather than his post inline in the thread. I’m sorry if that upsets you, but people do that every single fucking day on the board. I didn’t realize that it was akin to Hannity outright lying.
You do realize that linking to posts isn’t something I invented, right?
So anyway, this is exactly what Bricker wanted. He bitched about “context” in order to plant the seed in gullible minds. And you mushy-brained lot are burying the lead here:
Bricker, someone who calls himself a Christian, thinks it is acceptable for people to die because they can’t afford medical treatment. Just like my link shows. This means a poor diabetic who can’t afford insulin should just go into a coma on the bus as far as he’s concerned. You think that’s cool?
As an aside, unlike Bricker, I’m not habitually dishonest. Look at my posting history, I’m confrontational and snippy, but I don’t craft posts to confuse people. To the extent that some of you were confused, I honestly apologize, but I assumed that:
-
By now everyone knew how to make an entire post into a link. There are threads dedicated to the concept. I think it’s more aesthetically pleasing than just having someone click on the little blue arrow next to the name. Being able to click on anywhere in the text is more useful.

Seeing his post alone, which includes the quote by Voyager he was responding to, was the reasonable citation necessary, since anyone at all could just go to the thread directly by clicking on the link to the upper right of the post.
