    If you’ve got an opinion, voice your opinion. Why do you need someone else to speak for you?

    Sometimes someone says it better than you, so its easier to just point to that person, than to try to say it yourself.

      If you won’t even put some effort in and write your own thoughts out, why should I spend my time researching what you think?

      Pointing to someone else as a reference is one thing; but the completely no effort “here’s some links, you do all the work” is almost insulting.

      Imagine if Wikipedia removed all the actual info and just kept the reference links. I’m here for the actual info, I didn’t visit to be told where I can go to find it. I’ll look at the references if I need further clarification, and have the time/energy/desire to do so.
