Should we Allow Copy/Paste in the Forums

I often see constructive forum discussions being drowned by some people copy/pasting large amounts of text from external sources. These sources include news websites, wikipedia or religious scripture.
For me, these forums are for discussions between members not for the sharing of external propaganda.
If someone has taken the time to write to you then surely you should take the time to reply in your own words.
If you really need to reference a whole webpage then surely it would be better to post a link to it rather than to paste in the entire article.

I am not talking about a small relevant quotes here. Those are often helpful.

I would like to see a rule governing this.
