First mistake: Not every thread is bastardized. Only those that are posted purely for purposes of generating blog hits.
Second mistake: The cabal is NOT "little". It is HUGE and spans generations and continents.

Then I suggest you stay away.
Look Weasey Jefferson, for sarcasm to work there has to be humor and the critically slow should stay away from it.
That's what I care about as well.
That should be what we all care about first but I know that liberals don’t understand that.
When there's nothing of value to say - just toss in the liberal meme. Boring. Is that the best you can do?
As to the porn you are the one who is fixated on it and your favorite word is “vulgar”.
Old man...YOU brought up porn. The word "vulgar" is from FR's home page. It's not a word I particularly like - too gutteral. (There's actually a joke there - should I draw you a map or leave crumbs, Hansel?) Discuss with Jim if you'd like the word replaced with your favorite word - "porn".
Is “vulgar” a past stage name from when you danced in PT Barnum’s traveling “vaudeville” show?
I'm sure you'd know all about PT Barnum's traveling "vaudeville" show - I'm much too young to know anything about it.
That's what I care about as well.

True.

“The cabal is NOT “little”. It is HUGE and spans generations and continents.”
In your dreams.
I don’t see “excerpt for blog hits” on that list.
Isn’t that odd?
And I don’t see the requirement to post ALL content.
In fact, when you post from bloggers - the “excerpt” box is there for one to “check”.
I guess we’ve now gone full circle here.
That’s the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. :)
It's also there for one to ignore, no?
You are correct. It's an option.
But, nowhere does it say that one must comply with the OverLord's rants and harassment.
What part of the Moderator's admonishment in post# 106 on this thread don't you understand?
Believe it or not, once upon a time vanities were frowned upon by our participants. FR’s original format was established to not only fight for liberty and against government abuse/corruption, etc, but to criticize the liberally biased mainstream media. Therefore our original format was to post from valid NEWS sources and government reports, etc, and to tear them down where deserved. Vanity posters were shunned (unless they were very good).
Then a few years ago the blogger craze started. At first, most of them were treated simply as vanities and were pulled or zotted on sight. Eventually some were accepted as valid material on FR. And soon the blogger wars commenced. To allow blogs or not to allow blogs was the question. Can’t go blanket either way. Like it or not, some blogs are better than most others.
So, long story short, we created a special forum for blog posts. This was in lieu of simply deleting all blog posts. The theory was that as long as they were posted in the bloggers forum, those who didn’t wish to read them could simply click on the “news” forum and they wouldn’t see them. But, of course, as some blogs are definitely better than most others and some are much better than your typical mainstream news sources, we soon allowed certain blogs to be posted regularly to the news section.
This all worked more or less to a certain degree without too much friction until the non-commenting, short-excerpting, long-complaining blog pimp was born.
I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.
If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.
Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.
~THE OVERLORD~ should be able to deal with it.
Thud.
A nice heart sees only niceness.
:)
Perfect Jim, thank you for the clarification.
Humblegunner - the “real” OVERLORD has spoken.
Yep.
And he doesn't like blogpimps.
Ain't that a shame?
Thanks for the clarity.
Clear like crystal and leaves little room for weaseling.
I always figured as much, but it’s nice to have confirmation from the home office.
