For what it's worth, I can't abide ops that follow an interesting headline with the

dreaded words "link to tweet". Really, providing some informative text is just too much of a strain for you?

When I encounter this situation I immediately go to activate "Trash This Thread". I admit I also trash threads that have a lot of misspellings and lack of paragraphs. But today I went through DU and spent most of my time there activating "Trash This Thread". I'm also handy with putting some persons on Total Ignore...thanks to the DU developers who provided us with this useful tools.

I don't really expect anyone to change their posting behavior to suit me but it feels good to put this out there.

Or, "Let me get this straight..."

I don't expect anyone to change their posting behavior to suit me either.

David Parkman-If the video is as good as the explosive headline then the video should speak for itself. Other than 30-45 second to set up the clip the rest of the commentary is op-ed bullshit in the field of facts I am searching through.
