A distinction that I would make is whether or not the person has internalized and then communicated their own position in the debate, using the quoted material as the underlying source of their data set, rather than lobbing a few insults like Neanderthal and saying "here it is you mindless followers of the opposition."

Then there is no need for you to evaluate posts based on cut and pastes, is there?
The gentle guiding of people away from personal conflict and toward a reasonable exchange is on point with any discussion.

One thing that I learned in a book I read in high school was by Dale Carnegie. The book was How to Win Friends and Ifluence People. It's just as relevant today as it was when it was written in the 1950's. One line I remember distinctlty: The best way to win an argument is to avoid it. The more you argue your point, the more the other person is sure they are right.
I didn't know where to find the cut and paste of what I read in a book over 30 years ago.

I read in a dog training book that the sweetest music to a dogs ear, is the sound of his own name, called by his master.
I always make a point to call all three of my dogs by their name. After twelve years together, they get it.

Toughest one for most people to accomplish. Interestingly enough, the easiest one for most people to pick up on if it's phony.

But, when a person's goat is got, not always so true.
Goats, sheep, stecz...I'm so confused.....I do remember in kindergarten, thinking that rootbeer flavored paste would be cool... but I never had to cut my paste..I just smeared it with my fingers...

No surprise he resigned. I give hm kudo's for listen to strategists. They told him he cant get re-elected so he bows out with grace. Unlike Kathleen Harris. She was an out of control train wreck.
I'm not sure that leaving during term will do anything for him. At least he was eloquent and honest. Going back to private sector is double speak for I can make a mud-load of money as lobbyist or using my politicla influence and collect a fat check from my time served.
