Is DCUM really the place to break out scholarly journal articles, though?[/quote]

The poster (I think it's only one) who gives 10 links to support an argument and expects us to read them all.  Because, hey, providing a summary together with the link would be too much work.[/quote]

Scholarly articles start with a summary. What I hate is [b]posters who still won't budge from an ignorant point of view even when presented with 10 sources of scholarly research[/b].[/quote]

That was my quote originally. My point is, if you're trying to build an argument, don't make us do all the work.  I read and write scholarly articles for a living, so yeah I could do this, but my free time is valuable.  I'm not going to spend 3 hours trying to figure out this new field of study, read all the articles, and then try to figure out if they're biased or not, all in aid of helping you make your point. Do some of the work yourself, and summarize your endless links.

See....the argument has already been built in the pages leading up.  They are there to prove my point is based on actual research.  I don't see why anyone would have to read through and summarize articles when the summary is included in the first paragraph of all of them and the whole thread is about the topic being discussed..  Also, posts get too long if you paste information that could easily be accessed by link.  You wouldn't read it anyways I'm sure. [/quote]
