Sure, but someone might want more information and not want to give revenue to the Murdochs. Why do you care if I provided people an alternate way to get that information?
Link to something less awful than the Post talking about it
I don’t care if you provide another link, as long as you don’t expect me to know the ins and outs of American news sites and to provide you links to sites that are more to your liking.
It wasn’t a demand at all. It wasn’t even in reference to you. I was presenting a link… and I think you probably know that since you left out the hyphen, which indicates what I meant.
I’m not sure if it is that you are not a native speaker or that neither of us are but “do this” is how you write commands and demands. If it wasn’t meant in that way and not meant to me, even though it was written directly in reply to me, then it was a bit poorly thought out since it obviously seems like a demand. But it’s all good as far as I’m concerned
An em dash is often used in place of a colon or semicolon to link clauses, especially when the clause that follows the dash explains, summarizes, or expands upon the preceding clause in a somewhat dramatic way.
Harry would never forget the Tuesday that Mabel called him from the bakery, her voice brimming with excitement—the bakery had added cheese Danishes to its selection.
Although I admit I used a dash instead of an em dash because I didn’t want to look up the special character. I think most people probably understood what I was saying.
I really don’t know how you thought that changes it to something else. It adds to it, giving the actual link, but doesn’t change the actual tone. Or what did you intend it to say?

I don’t think it’s a case of people not understanding, that I agree on.
I don’t think it really matters when the point is just the article deletion, at least as long as what they write about is true
It matters for those of us who don’t want to generate revenue for the Murdochs.
Could just not click the link

Well you sorta wrote it like a demand to me

Genuinely not sure how you figured the hyphen would change it but here’s the full reply. I don’t get it but maybe it changes the meaning to someone
