    It's not freedom of expression - he's not expressing anything. He's filling up pages of links with cherry picked quotes and no personal content (opinion, review, discussion) and then ignoring any comments made on them. His only response when they've been discussed was thanking someone for telling him to keep spamming. He hasn't replied to the discussions I've tried to start based on his posts, and he probably won't reply to this either.

    The only reason you're claiming it's not spam is because the links are on your side, but he's not contributing any more to the discussion than if he was posting 10+ links to discount kitchens.

    Posting links is fine, but it's good etiquette to at least comment on them. Most other boards I'm on ban posting of links without comment. And so, copying the headline and first paragraph doesn't count as comment.




    Ok I have no issue with your response this time - it's adult debate you're engaging in, but simply posting 'REPORTED' is so beneath adult discourse


    Please watch that vid at 24 mins when they all keep shouting 'shame', it's so childish and what the left are doing everywhere (such as Tory Finge with JRM)


    The conservative here invites the infantiles to debate and talk, but they simply keep shouting. This is the left now

    Yeah, if you're posting without discussion then a "pro-brexit links thread" might be the best option, and we can keep this one for discussions.

    I'd rather not block you, because you do occasionally make points and I don't want to generate an echo chamber.

    I think it's fair enough that people are getting fed up with pages of spam. Why post in any more detail when it's being ignored?

    What about expressing your opinion?
    Putting forward your point of view?
    Something we can debate?
    It's a debate forum after all, no?
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    Nothing to do with freedom of expression.
    It's spam. Don't care whether it's lefty spam or righty spam.




    You are throwing toys out the pram over his choice of free expression. It's not spam, it's links to highly relevant evidence most of the time.


    I get far more from these links than I do endless doom mongering from the terrified crowd endlessly stating we are too silly and weak to thrive as independent nation

    Why would anybody be interested in my opinion?

    I come on here to share facts with people.

    The original thread was entitled "what will happen when we Brexit?"

    Maybe I should start a new thread with that as a title (part 2)?

    But how can I be sure you won't wreck that too?

    Why don't you just put me on ignore?

    Or are you trying to get me PPRed?

    Nonsense - Youtube et al are the main source of current affairs for generation Z - you will see the vast bulk of hissy fit shouting and safe spacing is coming from the left


    To say otherwise would confirm you are utterly out of touch with modernity


    In the main righties LOVE to debate and engage - but right across YT you will see lefties unable to do this, so they just shout and throw fits


    Hence 'TRIGGERED'. You do realise the yoof pass around these triggering vids right? It's all one way - righties triggering hysterical lefties


    My lefty mate gets triggered by me - yet I stay calm and simply debate - this is what happens on FB etc - intolerant trigerred lefties calling opponents silly names


    Across Campus it is lefty students that demand safe spaces to protect them from alternative views THIS IS NOT SEE ON THE RIGHT

    If I want links I'll install and configure a news reader app on my phone. Don't need to be spoon fed links, thanks very much.

    Anyway, to each their own. If you guys want pages and pages of links, knock yourselves out. Enjoy.
