“How else do you explain posting only from a single source?”

Since I have no knowledge of his motives, and since I have no reason to think ill of him, I might speculate that these are the things that matter to him—and, indeed, to me—and so he is motivated to share them.

I feel that way myself sometimes. A couple of days ago I posted a Catholic Caucus thread regarding a 13th century prayer, knowing full well that it would be of interest only to a limited set of FR posters.

Yes.
But note your article history.. a variety of sources:

http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:dsc/index?tab=articles

This Welchie pimp posts only from a single source.
We are just an advertising platform to her.. one for which she does not pay.

I, for one, like those articles.

And how did we establish a financial connection between the poster and that site?

Good find.

Emma is a professional pimp.. she even gives seminars about how to pimp more effectively.

I hope she falls in a hole.

She’s on the staff.
Got a fancy title and everything.. which equals “pimp”.

What do you reckon a “Social Media Specialist” does?

Yes, and the Freepathon is almost in its third month. Has she ever contributed, I wonder, or only used FR to make money?

Okay, I will grant for the sake of argument that she is doing what you say—posting articles here to try and get hits for the site she works for.

How does Jim Robinson feel about that?

Funny you should ask.

"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."

You could always axe him, I guess.

Failing that..

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/2636843/posts?page=552#552

And now I see Shibumi just posted the same thing.

Now.. Catholic Review isn't necessarily a blog.. but it's still being pimped.

Well, it’s Jim Robinson’s opinion that decides the matter. Speaking strictly for myself, I wouldn’t think it a good thing if those posts disappeared.

It has nothing to do with the content.
This issue is the behavior of the poster.

Nothing stops you from posting any articles from there that you feel would be of interest.

That’s real.

Somebody posting everything from there because they want hits is totally different.

Okay, I acknowledge that difference, but content is not irrelevant.

Isn’t she doing me a favor by pointing out these articles that I would have missed? Still, JR will decide it.

Hey, Thanx!!! I have an ebook library hold for the “Hot Zone” but so many ahead of me that it will probably be months before I have access to it but thanx to your link I can read it now.

If the description of how Ebola spreads and kills doesn't give you chills nothing will!

Who, me? Please point out any anti-Catholic thing I've expressed.

For the Greater Glory oh God..

Yeah, well.. see.. what we're dealing with here is the greater glory of Catholic Review.

not anti-Catholic douches

I rarely frequent the feminine hygiene aisle but I'll keep an eye out for those.

Have you some specific data on these anti-Catholic douches of which you speak?

It was my way of agreeing with Vermont Lt who called you a douche.

Personally I think douches the world over are cringing when they heard that you were lumped in with them.

Douches have a generally salutatory effect on a body whereas your effect is more like an enema than a douche.

As Majoram Dei Gloriam non defecationem

Hey, humblegunner, I really like the straightforward Catholic Review articles and bookmarked that publication.

I see your point about getting hits, I assume, but in this case, it seems OK to me.
