    What? Why can’t they? Posting snippets of the article drives discussions… It’s a common thing to do, and usually gets me to jump in with an opinion or rebuttal.

    Engagement is good!

      Because if that’s all there is, and its multi-paragraph chunks, it doesn’t actually foster discussion

        I respectfully disagree, as someone that hasn’t been part of this community for long. I feel people should be allowed to speak freely as long as it’s topical and not against tos, and you deleting posts you feel aren’t fostering discussion could be seen as you deleting direct quotes that you don’t agree with.

        That said, you’re the mod, you get to decide.
