Also, I imagine that in a GQ thread if the first response to the question is an unexplained link to a page with no obvious relevance then that’s subject to a note, if not a warning. Maybe not, if the poster is trying to answer the question but doing a poor job. Still, it’s a crappy and unhelpful way to respond.
My librarian post specifically and clearly referenced the McDonaldland GQ thread and the posting of a bare link to a relevant SD column. Thus, your “walked up to people in the library who were studying” attempted counter to my point failed.
I can definitely see you’re reaching here, as you have failed to convince anyone and even your metaphors aren’t working. I think the dead horse should get buried at this point.
