Can you isolate the facts and just post that portion when you are citing them for facts? You will copy and paste huge sections of an article/blog or just provide a link. There may be a fact buried in there somewhere but it is asking too much to expect us to read such a huge volume of information to find this fact that you say is in there. When you do that kind of stuff, I just pass on your posts. Maybe there is something for me to learn, but I do work and do read other boards besides this one.
When I post an article, I only post a small portion of it to show you what I am citing. Then I provide the link for you to go to the article to read in its entirety if you need more context.

No, it is not, especially if you are citing an article/blog for the facts that they purportedly contain.
