Does tater mean "excerpted"?

Oops, I forgot to capitalize your screen name.

Thanks, Fred....I do.

But I also sometimes extract for paragraphs in the middle of an article.

Yoy may continue to closely monitor my postings.

I would consider that excerpting also. I'm no English major, but carry on.

How does "abstract" sound?

Abstract -
     extract or remove (something).

I would rephrase your sentence above to:

If the article is too long or copyrighted, I will post excerpts of it. The good reader can click the URL for the entire article.

#14. To: Fred Mertz, TheFireBert, TooConservative, Pinguinite, A K A Stone (#12)

Thanks, Fred, I made the change you suggested.

The reason I added the information block was to follow a suggestion by another member. There was some confusion that I was in agreement with an article I posted. It took a few unnecessary exchanges for him to understand that I was not. He made a great suggestion to me so that would not happen in the future.

TheFireBert: Since you left out the main part of the article which gets to the conclusion, the beginning looks misleading as a call for Christians to abandon their faith to a grey, undefined, and altogether moral- less world.

TheFireBert: Since you left out the main part of the article which gets to the conclusion, the beginning looks misleading as a call for Christians to abandon their faith to a grey, undefined, and altogether moral- less world.

TheFireBert: Then again, what other purpose would a progressive-demon serve, amirite?!?

Gatlin: Before you made any assumption, you should ask me:
     1. Why did you only post the first part of the blog article?
     2. Did you do this to intentionally make it look “misleading as a call for Christians to abandon their faith to a grey, undefined, and altogether moral-less world?”

Gatlin: Had you asked: I would have answered: “No”....to both questions.

TheFireBert: Then I would have informed you that is the article posting style I use to make sure I never inadvertently post a fully copyrighted article. I present the lead in and link to the remainder.

TheFireBert: I agree with the reasoning above, but would insist on adding your own dialog in the poster's comments in the future to ensure that the amount of content, or lack thereof, is not misleading. [Boldness Added]

I approached Stone on his suggestion thread with the following suggestion:

Gatlin: When someone clicks on “Post Comment” on a new thread, the default name appearing in the “To” block should be “Author” and not the posted “by” person.

Gatlin: An individual may post an article because they agree with it, disagree with it, find it to be newsworthy or just interesting.

Gatlin: The posting itself should be “considered for what it’s worth” and/or “do with it what you will” with no assumptions made.

Gatlin:The assumption is made far too often that someone posts something because they agree with it, and then some members attack the poster of the article and call on him/her to defend it. [Boldness Added]

Gatlin: How about changing the default name?

Stone: … its hardcoded in and it can't be changed as far as I know.

Stone: I also don't want to bug neil to much about doing stuff.

Since Stone could not see the situation that continually occurs as a problem and decided no action was necessary, I then resorted to the suggestion from TheFirbert and added the information block to the bottom of each thread I now post.

Additional information:

I posted recently posted four articles in which the authors stated things they felt wrong with Christianity. I was immediately attacked for being "anti-Christian."

Today I posted four articles in which the authors stated things the felt fight with Christianity. Not of the posters who attacked me for the other postings have come forward and congratulated me for being "pro-Christian."

I see this often where posters must continually distance themselves from articles the neither support nor endorse and merely post them because of the content.

I got tired of the accusations….TheFirebert suggested an excellent procedure, one that I followed.

I appreciated the suggestions you have made, do you have any more?

Thanks in advance for those you send my way.
