I choose to excerpt to offer a broader sample of the content and you choose to criticize it as if there’s a sinister motive behind it like profit.

The term “click bait” has been used by you to suggest I’m drawing in suckers like P.T. Barnum with what I do the headlines and so on.

I don’t think making money is sinister do you?

I don’t make money from the blog and I donate to Free Republic regularly so I guess I lose money doing the blog and excerpting it the way I do.

I do this because I like what I do and I want to make it available to people everywhere. For some reason there are hundreds of hits outside the US every day now.

Sending it to FR is designed to spread the information around to a US audience.

I get the impression your real motive for being critical of my posts is censorship of content you personally find objectionable at best or censorship of content on behalf of someone you represent at worst.

There are organized efforts by special interest groups, business entities, governments in the world today to do that my friend to shut down material they find dangerous or threatening to their interests.

There are such efforts in the world today so I mention them.

I have observed some of your other posts so you seem to distribute your criticism about but I reject any notion I am some sort of sensationalist profiteering person.

I do real news and try to offer a sampling of it each day.

How are sentence fragments broader than the whole thing?

It's not exactly ethical if the material is stolen, is it?

Good. You shouldn't. It sucks.

Huzzah! There is yet justice in the world!

That's what the homos say, too.

You steal material and offer a jumbled, chopped up wad of nonsense.
