The article is nonsense AgingAmerican May 2015 #66

The article has links to things that actually occurred. It's firmly grounded in fact. stevenleser May 2015 #68

The premise of the article is nonsense AgingAmerican May 2015 #70

That is automatically proved wrong by links to the actual tweets and other things that occurred. stevenleser May 2015 #76

'Links' and 'Tweets' AgingAmerican May 2015 #79

The article is partially about Tweets, so yes, a link to the Tweets in question is pretty important. stevenleser May 2015 #80

This is about wRning social media thatvthere sre trolls about. hrmjustin May 2015 #95

No, I'm not, and neither is the OP. nt stevenleser May 2015 #98

It means responding to someone by going after them personally AgingAmerican May 2015 #89

It means attacking the person instead of that person's statements. I attacked your statements. nt stevenleser May 2015 #99
