Don, hold up a moment ok? I was pointing something out. I wasn’t making a commentary on it. I have seem people who sign up only to post their blogs, get zotted. I didn’t comment on whether it was right or not. Thats not for me to decide - it’s not my website. I just pointed it out.

You really don't know why someone is zotted. You and I can only surmise. Could may well be a retread trying to post and has nothing to do with the blog.

You or no one else has produced an FR rule that your idea of "blogpimping" is against FRs rules.

It seems that blog pimping is somewhat tolerated in the bloggers and personal forum. But try it on "News Activism" and you will get one warning. DO it a second time and you are suspended. A third earns the zot.Sometimes the zot is handed out immediately.

SO the rules are different depending on where the blog is pimped.Similarly, the rules may shift depending on the volume of pimped blogs, after all it is a form of free advertising to increase blog site hits and get a leg up in the blog-o-sphere search engine universe.

Some pimped blogs I have visited have little to add to FR discourse. Others are quite cutting edge on the information end. So your mileage may vary, and so do the posting rules. I can live with that.

But I also believe blog pimping has a cost with concern trolls peddling their disinformation on conservative causes, especially in matters of controversey among Republicans.When Rit Momsey begins his presideLDStial run, you will see many blogs pimped here dedicated to his cogs ( cause).Same happened with Pon Raul.History and records are "rewritten." Facts are skewed and spun. Some subscribers open dual FR accounts and can actually post to themselves back and forth as if they were two people arguing with each other. Solid freepers get a kick out of catching them.Very entertaining.

Overall,I think it makes FR very much a central forum and far less boring than it otherwise would be.And the 1st amendment goes through a continuous cycle of rebirth.

You got a blog and you want it certified, forged on the anvil of truth? Post it here if you dare.

Jeez. I never said it was. I said Mods sometimes take a dim view of blog pimping. Thats nothing other than true.

Sheesh, who peed in your cornflakes today anyway?
