Forgive me, Freepers, for I have sinned. My sins are many:
1. I linked to my own website, which is a sign of the arrogant belief that people might want to read what I write. Of course, if I didn't think that, I wouldn't write in the first place, so it's hard to see much difference.
2. I "stole bandwidth," though it's hard to see how posting a short exerpt with a link was worse than posting a long article--or how repeated insulting comments don't also "steal bandwidth."
3. I wanted people to "pay" me to be "showered with my wisdom," though my website has no advertising and costs me $299 a year to run, plus untold hours of time.
4. I used too many bullet points--or is it too few semicolons, I forget?
5. I claimed to have a graduate degree, though this couldn't be true, since I expressed myself plainly, in short paragraphs, and never used a $5 word when a two-bit word would do as well.
6. I claimed to have scars from a line-of-duty injury in the Army Reserve, though this couldn't be true either, since "people like me" usually avoid service.
7. Unlike my critics, I use my own name instead of a screen name, because I'm willing to stand up and be counted for what I say, and believe.
8. I assumed falsely that I was among friends, so any differences could be resolved amicably. Instead, I got more anger and vitriol than I ever got from liberals in the years I posted on NewsMax and on my own website. Yes, they occasionally called me "Nazi," but even the most fanatical never threatened violence or called me mentally ill--both of which are ways communists used to silence those who disagreed.
9. I assumed falsely that most conservatives are interested in saving our nation from leftists undermining it from within, and extremist Muslims attacking it from without. But instead, some are too busy squabbling among themselves about who doesn't really "fit in" with their small group--a sure recipe for defeat.
For all these sins, forgive me. My pennance will be to forgo blogging for a month. Perhaps that will be enough time for the anger to subside. Or not.

Was post# 157 too hard a question for you?
Ever notice how blogpimps refuse to answer simple questions? I think we’ve seen one or two out of hundreds of blogpimps who have given us an honest answer when asked why they refuse to post their articles on FR. I’ve never seen a response to the question of why they don’t participate in discussions or post in other threads.
I am completely and utterly singular.
There is none other like me in the whole world.
[for weal or woe]
:)
The do not even give you the option of having a static IP?
My provider does but invariably, the IP I’m given *sucks*.
We are allowed to host sites and that’s how I know about my static capability but after 2 weeks of crawling-death-slowness, I switched back.
Ironically, my ‘dynamic IP’ number has remained unchanged for *years*, possibly because the cable modem never gets turned off.
Life’s little [irrelevant] mysteries.
“(By the way, in post #166 I noticed that you’re starting to talk to yourself on this thread. That’s a very, very bad sign.) “
At this point, no one else is listening.
You can click their user name and choose the “In forum” link on their profile page.
What?!?
.....wait.
what?

stolinsky, hang in there, do not let the turkeys stune your beeber!
It shall be stuned and all shall be rolled over in UNNNNGH!
In 12 cup drip percolator pot, fill to 6 cup mark with water.
In filter, put 6 heaping scoops of coffee.
Medium roast works best, just make sure it’s a robust blend.
Found a maxwellhouse ‘medium roast’ that was rather anemic.
Put pinch of salt in filter, about as much as it would take to cover the surface of a dime with one even layer.
This keeps the coffee from tasting burned too quickly, it doesn’t age well brewed this way.
Brew, recirculate if need be, usually not.
Add sugar and dairy creamer.
Creamora and coffeemate are not recommended unless you like the heart racing that Ranger Pudding gives.
That, and the nondairy creamer will give you both a headache and a buzz with the coffee.
I usually put about 8 spoons of sugar in this stuff, it ends up being like Russian Kava, thick and sweet with that bitter overtone to it.
Oh, and I am NOT responsible for seeming demonic possession of the coffeepot, or the coffeepot ending up acting as if it has been damaged.
Be sure NOT to add creamora or coffeemate to the brew, unless you LIKE ranger pudding style heart racing.
When I brew that stuff for myself, I recirculate the stuff to brew a second time, but that’s me for my own personal enjoyment, and it may wreck the coffeepot.
Don’t forget the salt, it’s important to the finished brew.
I am chuckling whilst viewing your post.
I'm looking for a total, not a list. If you click on 'Account' you will see something like this:
You've posted a total of 540 threads and 8,104 replies.
The question is, can you see that for other people's accounts or just your own?
Yeah, I counted. It works for low volume noobs.
I know how many replies etc... my screen will show on each page (Preferences on my Account page) which allows for a quick tally.
Anything that’s a first post is an article, anything higher than #1 is a reply. This dude only had post, and by title, replies to his own posts.
It took about 10 minutes to tally and pick out the replies.
Don’t ask me to do it with somebody from the class of ‘98. ;)
I hope you are not actually expecting an answer. You should know that blog pimps almost never answer questions...
Must be too hard for them to do. ;-)
