Do the long "cut and pastes" bother you?

Question

you know, you scroll forever to get past the pasted quotes from the bible or koran. often, they are complete non-sequiturs, posted there no matter what the topic of the question is.
I think I'm gonna start pasting long quotes from various authors who are atheists...just throw them in there wherever it feels right.

Answer 1

Glad it bothers you so much....it is proof that it is working...ha, ha, ha

"...if they speak not according to this Word it is because there is no light in them".(Isa.8:19)"
...

Answer 2

If it's a cut & paste from a website that's about a mile long and only tenuously touches on the subject that the question is asking about, yes, it's annoying. If someone copy & pastes a relevant and somewhat long but not overly offensive chunk of text, I'm not so bothered.

In fact I have a few answers saved... people ask the same questions over and over and over again, so I saved a standard response to each one and I copy/paste whenever I see the question. It saves time!

Answer 3

Depends. I do some, sometimes. Like my Einstein quotes, so people won't say I'm taking them out of context.

Instead of just using the "I'm not an atheist" line, I'll include his whole paragraph which talks about his religious leanings, which aren't fundamentalist Jewish or Christian but more diest.

I feel it still serves the purpose AND it clearly shows he's religious to a degree.

Short cut and pastes make you wonder if it was taken out of context or not.

Answer 4

Long cut and paste answers are a waste of time if I'm asking the question, unless it's necessary to the answer. I think if you're going to answer a question that requires this, post a link or note the reference or sum it up. I'll be more likely to give 10 points to a wrong answer that was someone's own words.

Answer 5

I would like some Cut and pastes from Charles Bukowski. I can't wait, here he is...
Charles Bukowski (1920-1994)

"question and answer"
he sat naked and drunk in a room of summer
night, running the blade of the knife
under his fingernails, smiling, thinking
of all the letters he had received
telling him that
the way he lived and wrote about
that--
it had kept them going when
all seemed
truly
hopeless.

Answer 6

More than I can say. For two reasons - first, if you can't think for yourself and express your views in your words, don't bother answering the question. Second, the vast majority of these cuts and pastes have nothing to do with what's being asked.

Answer 7

properly, "decrease off" is a reasonably harsh word in our case. What befell replace into that, a pair of years in the past, my spouse have been given to a element the place she replace into addicted to discomfort medicine. the priority replace into that she replace right into a nurse, and that she have been given caught, and alter into fired from a occupation place wherein she'd been working for over a decade. She went via a era of melancholy and self-examination, and commenced the two counseling and Narcotics nameless conferences. of direction, this alteration into an fairly puzzling a number of months in our lives, and via it, her libido replace into almost non-existent. notwithstanding I had mixed emotions, which contain anger and a feeling of betrayal (I on no account might have estimated her to alter into addicted!), i replace into supportive of her via that era. I masturbated extra, and made the terrific of it i might desire to, lol. issues are fairly lots lower back to generic now, thank goodness.

Answer 8

Yes, they do. The ones that especially annoy me are the ones who paste the exact same answer to 5 different questions. I usually report those for spam or repeated postings.

Answer 9

If the question or answer is to long, I don't usually read it unless really informative. I don't know how to cut and paste so twernt me.

Answer 10

yes they do. Lion of Judah and mainworry respond to probably 9/10 questions with a cut and past and their answer is relevant probably 1/10

Answer 11

Yep. I just skip over them, no matter what the source is - bible, koran, wikipedia, someone's book they can't get published, whatever.
