I'd much rather read a so-called blog-pimping post than have to slog through the venomous, hate-filled rants of a knee-jerk blog cop with a stick up their ass.
Blog cops are only marginally more tolerable than real ones.
Just my personal preference.
Also, I don't have a big problem with someone generating a little economic activity along the way, as long as it is not to the tangible detriment of Free Republic.
After all, the situation is based on individual interest. No one is being forced to visit anyone's blog. I mean, aren't we all capitalists here anyway, not free enterprise-hating socialists?
I'm willing to take the good with the bad, but "methinks the lady doth protest too much" and "tempest in a teapot" are my general impressions on blog cops...
You are free to feel that way. Your feelings are at odds with management and a host of other FReepers.
That’s how it works.
