Fundamentally he promoted his blog. I notice his last piece was posted to that "Personal/Blogger" section of FR.
He doesn't seem to recognize or respect an apparent FR cultural taboo broken by his self-promotional actions. I don't post to that section and didn't notice any guidelines for posting at a quick check.
Obviously folks are sensitive to traffic being driven to a blog to pull in ad revenue. It's irritating but here you also know it's a blog before you go.
I don't know if he participated in FR other than on the blog "pimp" postings or not. I'm not that interested in his history.
Some of those who called him out focused on association with Examiner.com. The site looks like a content farm which detracts from whatever legitimacy its content may have.
What's the guideline for posting to the blogger area? Is it strictly verboten for a writer to excerpt and link to a site he's associated with?
Whatever his "conservative credentials" he seems to have a chip on his shoulder and reading this screed I'm not particularly interested in going to his blog posts.
When I saw the topic, I thought it was about something other issue.
Let’s make that “some other issue.”

Yes....:)
Excerpting blog material is not forbidden, but excerpting one’s own personal blog material for the sole purpose of getting hits is very much frowned upon. We pestered this particular blog pimp as to why he would not post his whole blog article in full, since he was the author. He just flipped and ended up getting himself banned. Too bad. Some other blog pimps reform and start posting the full content when they post from their own blogs. This guy chose to walk the path of the ZOT and now felt the need to write a nasty blog article about things (and he posted it on another zotted blogpimp’s blog of all places). This guy was also particularly arrogant on his zot thread, saying that without him, FR would go down in quality and that the majority of FReepers love him. He also mocked the Zot. Big mistake.
Will do. :)
No, time clumps together like a clogged subway toilet and can only be unclogged and unstuck by proper application of high energy detonations.

Yeah.
