I didn’t click through, because I thought I knew the answer to the click, since there were already several threads based on this story already. This is pure and simply click bait, headline info with no content on purpose. It does not belong on this site since the content was hidden to deceive.

Freerepublic would be perfectly safe from this blogger if a summary was provided. The content was not provided deliberately since it is rehashed material and click bait.

I have been in engineering, robotics, laser systems, avionics, and information technology since the seventies. I am not afraid to click on a link, just hated that I was being forced too.

Or it could be that Kevin is just lazy. Clearly, he doesn't own the blog.

I agree, a summary would have been helpful.

So you admit you didn't go to the link and see what was there, but you KNOW it had no content.

Do you not see the problem there ?

As has been mentioned, Conservative Treehouse had much the same story (and both were quite lengthy, containing a BUNCH OF CONTENT), yet you are not complaining about other sources like Conservative Treehouse ?

Admittedly this was a 'copycat' source, but most of the media (and especially the MSM) are 'copycat' sources.

Now, if you want to claim that the OP purposely only provided a brief excerpt when he could have provided the whole article (which , again, was VERY LENGTHY, contained several photos and video, which people would complain about how it clogged up FR's bandwidth), then that is another matter.
