You’ve been calling me a pimp all afternoon and “It must suck to live with you” bothers you.
And yes, a few pennies now and then doesn’t hurt. Unlike most bloggers, I pay for my own server.
As Admin mod said to one pimp: "FR does not exist for the purpose of driving traffic (read: revenue generation) to your, or anybody elses, blog"

And As Jim Rob says, "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.
If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.
...it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog."

How the heck did you determine that from what I posted?
If this is an example of your deduction skills then rather than ask you to quit excerpting I would ask you to stop writing all together.
Perhaps you could adopt a lizard, name him Alfie and while away your days discussing baseball with him.
Anything but deluding yourself into thinking that you can write.
That's why you excerpt against Jim's rules. That's why you pimp. Times change. We don't appreciate that anymore. Jim agrees. Read the posts of Jim's own words.
