This...this really shouldn't be a burden to people Yeah, I like everything that's said in both of these posts, particularly these suggestions. At risk of sounding like a crank (but what else is new, haw haw?!), this was sort of the expectation for posts on DnD not so long ago. You posted at least the parts of the article you were citing that you thought were important, you made it clear what argument you were making and why you thought the evidence cited supported it, etc. Obviously the advent of twitter changed those expectations somewhat, but I think we would probably do well to move back towards those older principles. e: encouraging this level of due diligence would probably minimize people using bad sources, too, since it would get them to actually read through the article they're posting more carefully to find the evidence they want.
