Here. I'll save you the trouble.
The whole thing - in context:

To: shibumi; jazzpatriot

Thanks! Still true and bears repeating in full:

Believe it or not, once upon a time vanities were frowned upon by our participants. FR’s original format was established to not only fight for liberty and against government abuse/corruption, etc, but to criticize the liberally biased mainstream media. Therefore our original format was to post from valid NEWS sources and government reports, etc, and to tear them down where deserved. Vanity posters were shunned (unless they were very good).

Then a few years ago the blogger craze started. At first, most of them were treated simply as vanities and were pulled or zotted on sight. Eventually some were accepted as valid material on FR. And soon the blogger wars commenced. To allow blogs or not to allow blogs was the question. Can’t go blanket either way. Like it or not, some blogs are better than most others.

So, long story short, we created a special forum for blog posts. This was in lieu of simply deleting all blog posts. The theory was that as long as they were posted in the bloggers forum, those who didn’t wish to read them could simply click on the “news” forum and they wouldn’t see them. But, of course, as some blogs are definitely better than most others and some are much better than your typical mainstream news sources, we soon allowed certain blogs to be posted regularly to the news section.

This all worked more or less to a certain degree without too much friction until the non-commenting, short-excerpting, long-complaining blog pimp was born.

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.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.

Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.

Read my post again and see if you can figure out what I actually said I was going to do

I’m sure Jim Robinson is thrilled that several of you are painging him to this thread with your whining complaints

I think he has more important things to do

As promised, an excerpt from JR's statement:
I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR.
Wayne Dupree fits the description "good conservative activist"

I worked with him shoulder to shoulder at many tea parties over the past several years..

He was one of the main speakers and did an excellent job.

He's posting from his blog and posts it in the bloggers forum.

Notice the words in JR's post "it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material"

It seems that what is being pushed here is that JR said that no one can EVER excerpt their material.

He never said that.

But for those that want more of his blog posted here, I will post more of it, hoping he doesn't mind.

Do you think Trump should go it alone? Should he start spending his money in key battleground states to offset Clinton buys?

Help support conservative news and views by sharing this post on Facebook and Twitter.

Don’t forget to follow the Wayne Dupree Show on Facebook, Google Plus, & Twitter. You can also listen to replays of the Wayne Dupree Show via Spreaker and iHeartRadio.

Other than that, he only left out one other sentence when he posted his text.

Oh and there is a YouTube video put up today by the Washington Free Beacon <_______ Link which is at his link at the top of the thread also.

For anyone interested on an expose on Hillary Clinton by one of Bill's victims back in the day, there is an hour long interview at This Link from June 10th. Dolly Kyle revealed lots of info on the criminality of the Clintons.

Ms Kyle comes in at about 16 minutes, but the lead in is quite interesting also.
