    well i thought this was debate and not the news echo.

    i read the news every day so dont see why someone is cutting and pasting just plain news and not commenting on it here.

    regarding the breaking news, rob can look into that perhaps add a feature for stripping html tags. i'm not even sure who signed up vert with breaking news.

    the tags are a new thing to the email subscription.

    My mistake. I was unaware that only the late breaking news offered by rob was the only debate-worthy news items that can be offered here. I'm soooo sorry
    I offended your tender sensibilities.

    you didnt offend me. if you offended me, you'd know it.
    i was just wondering why you cut and paste something from the news here.

    now if you did that and then commented below about the story, i'd understand. hope you get where i'm coming from.

    well, i just dont get why you decided to do it. with the cnn breaking news it's automatic and brief.


    why did you decide to paste news into dovenet? if i'd do it i'd talk a bit about it and made sure it was pertaining to an existing thread perhaps.

    not trying to be combative, just dont get why you decided to post news here when we all probably are reading the news when we are shitting with our smart phones at work.

    i was just wondering why you cut and paste something from the news here.

    If it didn't bother/offend you, then why would you be making a big deal about it over the course of several days now?

    It doesn't really seem all that odd that someone would post a news article to
    a group that has a topic of debate, because people generally DO debate current news topics. There is already a bot ran by the person who runs this network doing almost the exact same thing, but that doesn't offend you too?

    The thread you've created is WAY more off topic than the news article he
    posted to begin with...

    But then again, I guess that's debatable! ;)

    Then why use the BBS and DOVE-Net at all? After all, you can get your information from other sources. And communicate with other means. I would not have seen those articles, had he not posted them here.

    That is my thought too. Posting news articles, is a useful means to spark debate. I guess my question is why is one source encouraged, while another
    is discouraged.

    i'm not making a big deal about it over the cource of several days.
    i asked why and then the other guy and i talked back and forth about it.

    It doesn't really seem all that odd that someone would post a news article to a group that has a topic of debate, because people generally DO debate current news topics. There is already a bot ran by the person who runs

    if you read the thread you'd understand my reasons for asking.

    this network doing almost the exact same thing, but that doesn't offend you too?

    i dont know why someone would take it upon himself to suddenly be bot #2 and post even larger news articles when we all can fucking read the news on our own.

    now if this fella posted the article and wrote a few sentences about the topic, then i'd get it. what i dont get is why he decided to post something and then just hit save.

    there was no debate about it, and this is the debate echo, right?

    and yes, i have complained about the cnn breaking news in the past but the frequency of the posts from the service and the size of the posts have decreased.


    so, care to drag this shit out even further?

    is "the bbs" and dovenet the center of all news sources?
