Closely related to the link with no description is the reply with no explanation. TO use an example, there’s a thread in The Game Room right now about [what’s the most embarrassing sports play you’ve seen](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=14420201#post14420201) and MOIDALIZE came out with this gem:

No link, no explanation, no video. I guess we’re either supposed to know or the poster is just a lazy shit.
