Hi Shadow,
This is rule 5 from the
Forum Guidelines:
- Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
When people don't make arguments in their own words it's almost always because they don't understand the subject, and you have conceded on several occasions that you don't understand the science. If argument-via-quote is effective for you in a legal brief then I'm happy for you, but this is not a legal brief. This is a discussion.
Look at it this way. You've written your brief to the Supreme Court, you've made your oral arguments, and now the justices are asking you questions. You cannot tell the justices to go look something up.
You can't do it here, either.
You're way over quota on the quotes. You're welcome to argue anyone's views you like, but from now on no more quotes, just presentations and explanations of those views in your own words.
Please, no replies to this message in this thread.
