2. You'll usually get a lot of posts on a subject when it is disputable in some way

So, for instance, the Martin case got and continues to get a lot of attention because people here (and elsewhere) could take different positions on it. Who could possibly take different positions on Ms. McClain's horrendous action?

There is no discussion because there's literally nothing to discuss. Everyone is in agreement: this is horrible beyond words.

Do you have some alternative theory for why there aren't posts on this? Let's hear it.

3. Yes it was a horrific crime and it seems like we are inundated with this kind of thing.

One certainly never becomes immune to incidents like this and I hope that Nurse gets the most severe penalty for this.

if she is declared guilty of capital murder...
is- does her crime meet the level warranting death row?...
This is one of those tough ones to deny,if guilt is verified.

6. I'm surprised that you did not add a link in your OP,

then folks clicking on your link would know what you're actually talking about.

The best way to spread the word about a particular story is to post about it

Edited to add:

Here's a link from the LBN forum: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014100370

for the folks that haven't already seen it.

7. There is no fucking mention of McClain in that post either

So how in the Hell is anybody going to figure out what this is all about?

Gees, Louise! If you are going to post a new thread, puleeze provide sufficient context. And if you complain about insufficient context do not provide yet another link with insufficient context.

I have low bandwidth here. Not everybody wants to auger down ad infinitum.

Thanks.

10. Oh! Yet another link. Why did you just provide context?

So that us bandwidth challenged folks didn't have to, as I said, auger down to find out what you are posting about.

The reason I clicked on the post in the first place was that I found it interesting. Little did I realize that I would be lead into a maze of twisty passages, all different. (Some old geeks like me will get that allusion.)

Please do not do the bait and switch here. If you have something to say, say it. Don't post threads here without context.

Thank you very much for listening (so to speak).

11. Why don't you scream at the author of the OP, not the person who tried to connect you to other
Wed Apr 18, 2012, 07:21 PM

information?

You seem to be screaming at some one who tried to help you find more info ... info that the author of the OP did not provide a link for.

You might want to target your anger at the correct target.

12. I think I will post an OP about Hymie Hivenheimer without any context
Wed Apr 18, 2012, 07:33 PM
Apr 2012

And when somebody claims that don't know who Himie is, I will post another link to a post who doesn't say anything about Mr. Hivenheimer. So the freaking post is out there with no freaking context.

Gees, Louise! Not everybody has broadband Inet. You could have had the decency to actually respond to my request for context.

I no longer give a fuck who this McClain woman is.

Thanks for fucking nothing.

I guess you're complaining that there is no hub dub about a black woman killing a white woman.
