You forgot the other type of thread. "The Link."
It has a title. And it has a hyperlink to some article. Nothing more. Nothing less.
And does the person who plopped this pre-proccessed thought onto our plate have anything to say on the subject? Does he have an opinion about it? Well, we'll never know, because our dear little herald deigns it unneccessary for you to know what he's all about on this article.
You go ahead and make the first move. Respond to his thread which he chooses not to say anything of his own. You see, without having laid his own hand down on the table first, he controls the hole card in the next play.
My take on it is: if he can't be bothered to chip in his two cents on the subject he made the effort to bring up, then he shouldn't waste my time telling me to read something he doesn't have the conviction to take a stance upon from the get-go.
As a writer, I know the importance of hooking the reader. Do you know how supremely unengaging a simple hyperlink can be?

Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
