I don't cut and paste ...

Well, if you insist, I'm happy to take your word it, but expect to be jumped on by someone if you do!


Anyway, even if I *was* cutting from websites, you can't just discredit it because of that. It's still an argument, and you really ought to answer it!

The problem with that is that there is no discourse. I may agree or disagree, but unless an individual takes responsibility and says implicitly "this is what I believe and am prepared to defend" then it is no more of an argument then shouting at the television. If you cut'n'paste something you actually believe it is better if you write what you believe, because then you have expressed your belief as you see it. So no need for a cut and pasdte there. But if is something you more or less believe but wouldn't put it quite like that, it's not easy to defend because it's not really yours
