I asked, politely I might add, for you to post comments directly on my site. I never said “don’t post here.”

[ejonesie22]

While I will not “dis’ you or react harshly to your “Blog Pimp” it has become a matter of courtesy to not actively direct Freepers to private blogs outside of FreeRepublic.

I am sure your intentions are noble, but just be mindful that this is not our house so perhaps one should not open up there catalog case and start a sales pitch unless invited by the owners...

[angkor]

Done.

[wagglebee]

I wanted to see if his stances were reconcilable with the conservative base.

If you're wondering, you probably shouldn't consider yourself a conservative, much less try to have a blog about it.

[ejonesie22]

I say, a simple mistake, i make it all the time.

I find myself often reading things twice on a Computer screen.

[Seth_Stuck]

What the hell is the blogger/personal section for if not to post links and drive traffic to conservative blogs/blog posts?

[Seth_Stuck]

His stances from that political debate. Hence the video.

[ejonesie22]

Nothin’ I haven't been guilty of myself...

Why I offered the Mulligan, my reading can be as bad as my golf...

[ejonesie22]

That would be a question for the bosses, one you may want to ask BEFORE making such a post.

I only know what I have seen as past practice Seth.

Just trying to be helpful before you step on any toes.

[angkor]

I think I get the award for posting the only responsive comments in the entire thread.

[Servant of the Cross]

okay ej, I'm curious. Do you plan to go to seth_stuck's blog to replicate all of the FR 'Conservative vs. Romneybot' discussion and dialogue?

I know you love it but there is a limit to how much fun even you can take, right?

[Seth_Stuck]

You do indeed. I appreciate your thoughtful replies :)

[wagglebee]

I asked, politely I might add, for you to post comments directly on my site. I never said “don’t post here.”

So, when the guy named Clarence in the long leather coat, with the feathered hat, gold teeth and Cadillac says, "Come check out my hoes," he is simply being polite. But if he says, "Come check ou my hoes, you don't want nothing to do with Cecil's hoes," he is being a pimp?

[wagglebee]

He was a liberal then, he’s a liberal now, I don’t need to see another video of Myth.

[ejonesie22]

I’ll support that ;-)

[ejonesie22]

I’ll support that ;-)

This section is specifically for blog posts. I posted a link to a blog post and asked for direct replies to the blog - to foster discussion and give Freepers a chance to voice their opinions beyond these walls. I never said, "don't also post on this site." People are perfeclty capable of posting on both. What I did is NOT pimping. That is specifically what this section of the site is for.

Perhaps, instead of trying to castrate a fellow conservative you could support someone who spends hours of his day, every day, trying to help the conservative cause? If that involves you clicking on a link and copy/pasting your thoughts from here to his site... so be it - five seconds of your life well-invested. If that requires that you simply not engage in nasty personal attacks... then so be it. But there's no merit to some of the responses I've seen here. None whatsoever. I post comments, threads, pings and PMs to this site regularly and have been here for months. It's not as if I popped up out of the blue and posted a link to my blog and said, "Go here, make a post - I'm ignoring your comments here." In fact, as you can see, I've made a concerted effort to TRY to have a dialog with those of you who are being unreasonable. I was NOT "pimping" my blog. I DO regularly contribute to this site. Your responses to me are unfounded.

[ejonesie22]

While an interesting “challenge” I think I’ll pass...

I think the simple response is ‘If you have to ask if Romney is a Conservative, or think he is, you don’t know “Mitt”’

[trisham]

As I said previously, respect has to be earned. Using this site to promote (pimp) your blog is not an action worthy of respect. Imho, of course.

You may not be the devil, but I’ll kindly ask that you please don’t take the Lord’s name in vain in a post to me, N00b.
