Do you place kpete in that category as well? My take is that kpete is advocating unity, and using the authors words to express it. Do believe he also is suggesting a larger support for the author, or has otherwise established that reputation?

FWIW, I actually prefer people use their own words. I've always been bothered by the technique around here of posting the writings of outside authors with little if any added substance. It is often a way around the TOS in the sense that the juries seem to allow far more leeway in posting otherwise alertable content if it is from outside sources.

That said, it does seem you are trying to place kpete in the same category. Was that your intent?
