It's a free country (at least it used to be), so you can post in any manner you choose. But proper protocol always dictates that everyone should link to their own claims.

Glad you have such vast forum experience. Here is my experience on this forum. When asked to provide proof or give an answer or name credible sources, and having done so, the opposition simply "poopoos" says that answers is wrong, proof isn't acceptable and sources (like NOAA, UN, NATO, NASA, etc) are not credible, and gives you the brush off. So, what is the point of providing all that work when you know that their position is to deny anything contrary to party line. It is a free country, so I will get my information from what I deem the best and most reliable sources. Then if I make a statement, like in court, it is up to the opposition to do their own work to prove me wrong if they want to. Most of these posts, and many of mine, are opinions anyway. So I'll say, "yes it is", and you say, "no it isn't ".
