"Stop me before I click on a blog again! FreeRepublic might not survive is any freepers “peel off” to read BLOGS (whatever those are these days)!"

I have no desire to stop you from anything. If somebody wants to click on a blog, it is no skin off of my nose. If a blog pimp wants to drive hits by USING the resources of FR, I have a problem with that as a supporter of this site. Last time I checked, I am allowed my opinion every bit as much as you are entitled to yours.

"If Mark Steyn came here and, using his own name, posted a link and an excerpt to a post on his blog, do youse guys mean to tell me you would say he has absolutely nothing to say, he just wants to drive hits?"

Don't know. I don't read Mark Steyn and I don't speak for "youse guys".

Everyone who posts here uses the resources of FR. So what. If the poster is abusive, that can be dealt with the usual mod-way.

Good grief.

How in Hell's Bells is an expression of disagreement with your opinion an implied statement that you're not entitled to it?

Funny!

BTW, do you know who Mark Steyn is?
