I mean, if you think about it, how many people here get ribbed for posting links? Most of the time, the poster gets thanked for the link. So, there must be a reason besides the posting of links for the ribbing...

Right, but then just don't comment on it. Because it makes the respondant look dumb, and depending on the tone of the responding post, also angry and mean to say, "That's a stupid link I didn't read." A lot of the responses aren't so much funny as they are just mean (and I've seen this on both sides, so I'm not pointing fingers at just one side) and that makes me think less of the person responding. It's easy to call names and throw out what one thinks are witty bon mots but in fact are just schoolyard-level bullying. Address the issue or don't. The issue. Must remember that myself.
