This is probably one of the most inane threads ever posted at FR.

A very penetrating and puzzling thread......

So long!

Why So Vanity?

You get no points for originality. No points for anything, really.

This is almost as insightful as the other one this weekend where somebody was asking for Larry to email them.

This is your brain.

This is your brain on mind-altering chemicals.

By the way, on the Interwebs, when you start channeling the Joker, it usually means you have completely lost it and need a major dose of Thorazine.

Get off the web you big dope!

It’s like an unfunny punchline to an unfunny joke without the set up.

Do keep “vanity” posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting.

It looks to me like a growing population of freepers are expressing considerable annoyance with blog pimps.

I thought it was just me, but maybe the site mods will see that there are a lot of people who don’t think the site is well-served by people trolling for hits and adding no useful content.

At least, maybe more freepers will help the mods get blog posts pushed to the blogger forums.

And maybe the blog pimps will be restrained from attacking other freepers who think the site is for advancing the conservative cause, not making money on the internet.

A lot of us use FR to convey information and discuss issues. We feel if something is worth saying, we'll find a thread talking about the topic and say something about it, or respond to another post.

If we feel we have something worth a thread of its own, we'll label the thread a vanity and have our say.

What we DON'T do is post 5 words, and then redirect eveyone AWAY from FR to go read some worthless blog. If we have something worth posting, we post it HERE and let others comment or criticize.

Some folks see FR as a place to flog their blogs, and nothing else.

Maybe that is why you get those keywords (and none of them were from me - if I have something to say, I say it).

And that's all I have to say on this...(excerpted. To read more, go to www.myworthlessblog.com)

My suggestion to you: If you don't want to be known as a blogpimp, then read what some other folks have written and respond to other folks' threads. You could also post and comment on content written by other folks other than yourself. This is a community / discussion site, after all, not a clearing house for individuals' personal blogs.

You might even enjoy yourself doing so and find some interesting discussions with some of the foremost conservatives on the web.

BTW, Blogpimps are those folks who only come on here to post their material. Usually it involves trying to drive traffic to their blog.

Please refer to the keyword Admin Lecture Series for some guidance on posting rules.
