The latest case being the brilliant blogger who gave us the wonderfully snarky “Thanks Obama!” Post-It Note campaign.
That was brilliant, useful, inspired and much appreciated.
That blogger _gave something back_ instead of just pasting an excerpt *here* to lead people off of FR to *elsewhere* for hits and then running off to do the same on some other thread.
That's a good point. We didn't harass that blogger although it was clearly "pimp" behavior. It was ultimately determined to be allowable because it was valuable to FR.
I know of quite a few instances where the "pimp" didn't know the rules, happily posted (and continues to post) full text and we have happy FReepers and happy bloggers.
Only the jerks get the treatment. That guy was a supreme jerk IIRC.
