Both were posted by a new coalition of college-age blogpimps
who have recently signed up on Free Republic to post excerpts
from their group blog.

We have seen this sort of team pimping before, most recently
from the David Horowitz News Real Blog group. Now deceased.

I do believe there is some form of mass mental illness amongst these pimpettes or at least severe neuroses.

Primary symptom is a propensity to write their profiles referring to themselves in the third person - a very Horowitzian trait.

One of them, Mark Mayberry was a classy enough guy to start posting his stuff in full, once he was made aware of the FR community’s distaste for blog pimping.

Gabriellah at first feigned ignorance and the irresistible forces causing her to click the “excerpt” button on her own writing. She has not been heard from since.

So, amylutz4, you have a choice to make. Do you want to be a positive contributor to this community, or just a callous user?
