Did you ever wonder why this guy NEVER makes a comment?
That seems perfectly normal to you?
“Did you ever wonder why this guy NEVER makes a comment?”
Perhaps he’s the strong silent type. Perhaps all he ever says is “Yup.” (I love the Canadian Free Press.)
Maybe because he’s Canadian?
If I had a store, and my competitor, Joe, sent a sandwich board advertiser into my store, and the sign read “Don’t shop here, shop at Joe’s!”, I’d think he was nuts, AS I was throwing his lackey out the door.
That’s how I view blog-pimping. They come into JimRob’s store, Free Republic, and they advertise for freepers to go over to another website instead.
Granted, some sites have their big, bad lawsuit, excerpted use only, and all that, but that doesn’t explain (1) not posting full articles when you can, and ESPECIALLY when you are connected to the website or article in some way, (2) not taking the time to intelligently select highlights of an article instead of posting a few opening lines, (3) posting a excerpt to an article that requires a sign-up once you get to the link, and (4) disappearing and not engaging the comments on your own thread that you’ve posted.
I think it’s disrespectful at best and theft at worst.
