Again, all I’m asking for is for you to look at our content and make an honest, fair decision on its quality.

Post it all right here and that will happen.

We will have a story this week on a local restaurant who is part of a national chain who has done something that will, no doubt, draw the attacks of the political left.

We will see if you post it.. or if you just post an advertisement for it.

Is that going to be treated by Freerepulic as content from a slurring bum?

That depends upon how you present it and the quality of the material.

Don't screw up quality of the material by begging at someone's door.

Ah yes, again, other groups can have an excerpt posted with a link to their websites with news that’s on thousands of other websites, but me, if I do that with an original story we’ve worked hard on and spent money on, you call it an advertisement and will move it to the “Bloggers” section. You say that when I post an excerpt to one of OUR stories, that it’s stealing traffic from your site - BUT you’re fine for people to do that with other news sites.

Actually, traffic is not stolen from you at all because people discuss the story here. If anything you get content that generates discussion. But why would I post a full article here that we spent time and money on? Either way, you receive content that generates discussion. But we have nothing to gain. Other sites do though, because you let them post excerpts with links to their sties (and if you think they’re not doing that and that it’s just your members, you’re wrong). How can you not see my point? I don’t understand why you’re not being fair to us.
