His issue isn't that the guy is posting from a blog site. His issue is that the guy excerpts his post instead of posting the whole content on FR, in other words the guy is seeking to drive people to his blog in order to garner hits, most likely he is getting paid by the hit by someone. That is the issue. Humblegunner is correct in calling these guys out, why should we have to click on his link when he could just as easily post it all here for us to read, if that is the bloggers intention, which most likely it is not.
By God.. somebody understands it!
What is the problem to us if he gets paid per hit? Only interested people are going to follow the link, so who gets hurt? It isn’t theft, for goodness sake. It’s capitalism. Fine.. who cares who is getting paid?
If it is bandwidth issue, or if the owner is worried about it, for his own reasons, and wants to charge a fee for bloggers, then fine.
But why should people disrupt threads enforcing a rule that was never written?
