1. Um, I already knew most of that

Why did I need to read this particular post? Or are you just shilling for Prosense now.

[blm]

3. The news in the post is a serious development.

If you can't see that....

[zipplewrath]

5. I did when I heard about them originally

Believe it or not I don't need you telling me what is important and what is not. I actually keep fairly well abreast without you. Just because you suddenly got a clue, doesn't mean the rest of us were quite so uniformed.

[blm]

6. Many people missed it. It's a courtesy to them.

Did I single you out? Why should that post bother you?

As far as when I got a 'clue' I assumed this would happen when I heard Kerry was tapped for Sec of State.

7. You said "need to read"

You said "need to read". Not "you might have missed" or "gosh, I just noticed, did you?". Mind you, you did nothing more than post a link. No mention of why, no discussion initiated at all by you in a "discussion" forum. And the link was to a poster who has no trouble getting their stuff noticed, up to and including "kicking" their own threads to keep them noticed.

I'm missing the "courteous" part in all of that. The presumptiveness of your own superior knowledge was in plain view however.

[blm]

8. Geez...acting a bit 'precious' these days, eh?

I did say the news re Iran was posted yesterday in the subject line.

[zipplewrath]

11. Yes, you did

And then you posted a link to a post right here in DU from the previous day with no additional content. And it all came with the breathless assumption that we were not as well informed as you.

A pet peeve of mine.

[blm]

12. No, it was NOT. The assumption was that people missed it.

YOU reached to make your assumption and it was incorrect.

[zipplewrath]

14. Or already knew about it

"...Dems need to read..."

I note no qualification on that population. Much less a recognition that the same information was already available from other sources. In fact there was no original content at all. (Which is actually the pet peeve)

[blm]

17. Now you're just being ridiculous.

Enjoy your evening.

[Posteritatis]

9. Christ, the things people here get indignant over. (nt)

[zipplewrath]

10. More like pet peeve

People posting contentless post merely pointing to other posts, or to websites (especially videos). It's so darn important that they need to post something, but not worth their time to add any content. In this case, it came with the breathless assumption that we are somehow not as well informed as they.

[blm]

13. That's YOUR assumption. YOUR assumption is incorrect.

2. Kicking up -

4. Not everyone knew this

Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

[malaise]

15. I tolerated ten minutes of that BS

[Scurrilous]

16. Thanks.
