How about a brief synopsis of what you are posting?

 

Do you have a credible link?

 

They city subcontracted tow companies to move homeless trailers from being to close to a construction site, some blocks over, into a neighborhood in front of peoples’ homes, without warning.

 

Lanny? With all due respect, we have been down this road. Click on the link, don't click on the link, but lets leave opinions of credibility out of the equation.
What you deem credible or not, is not the line drawn for all others.
Ive been posting things from various sources.
Click on something else if Oregon live is not your thing.

 

First, thank you for a very good synopsis;
Second, that was clearly wrong.

 

your welcome?

what did i do wrong now?

 

No. 1 = I don't waste my time reviewing stuff that is not credible. While some is good an awful lot is bad and wastes my time. I and my partner took first place iu our debate contest. Okay, it was about the Vietnam war but we had to know the rules pretty good in order to win. One of the rules and the one I believed to be the most important, other than don't get in a fist fight over an issue, was that a person making an assertion was charged with backing up that assertion with a credible source especially when challenged else it is just gossip. Now, I say this in order to facilitate a reasoned debate rather than a chaotic one. You are free to ignore me and Debate 101 rules but don't expect me to quit my attempt to improve things.

 

Lanny, what im saying is i think everyone here has heard enough debate about credibility, verifiability, etc.
If you don't think the link is credible just move on then.
Lets not go round aNd round about whats credible and what isn't, ad nauseam.

im sure everyone here is tired of it.

 

That link is so credible it’s INcredible!

 

No. 1, I don't have to go on. Using the same logic you can ignore any of my posts that you don't like and just move on.
You may find my posts ad nauseam but I don't.

 

okay but im not addressing you in my post. You are quoting and addressing me and asking me a question in your post. I can not reply, but then you may think im being rude and ignoring you?

but as you wish. I will ignore your post specifically asking me a question, since you are unwilling to ignore my post that did not specifically address you.

 

Why would you think you're being rude

Any hints on what your phantom links actually refer to?

 

Excellent post.

 

Not at all. I appreciate sources being called out as uncredible whenever uncredible sources are referenced.

It's actually a community service (and helps the debate) to do so as long as you're being truthful and can back it up.

My employee stayed one night at a PDX airport hotel, flew out of town for a week and left his car there (paid for the parking), came back, and his catalytic converter had been removed. Took 7-8 weeks to get it because there's such a shortage at the moment (due to the number of thefts country-wide, as well as slow logistics).
