"I’m not typically this much of a jerk, but when someone mouths off to me, I’ll dish it right back."

Could have fooled me. Looks like being a jerk is something you achieve with practiced ease.

Now that you've admitted your purpose in excerpting your own writing, I've got a flash for you, n00b. FreeRepublic does not exist as a promotional tool for your blog building.

FR is supported by the contributions of her loyal members. They don't contribute their cash so that you can build your business. Just so you get this message with perfect clarity, I've pinged a small welcoming committee to greet you. I'm also including a quotation from the founder and owner of this website, Mr. Jim Robinson, who has repeatedly weighed in on this subject.

"I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR."

(You can click on the comment for the complete quote, in context.)

Oh, one more thing ...

"What I meant by my “no homo” comment was called humor and rhetoric, skills that take wit and intelligence, something that most of your comments on here sorely lack,"

I am devastated by your assessment. Would that someday I may rise to a level of verbal acuity that approaches your own. Pray for me.
