Oh, now I'm really confused. ;-)
As if MR didn’t know.
OMGosh! I just looked outside, and there’s no goat out there either! The perfidy!
You made the cats run under the bed again.
For a Geriatric Slut maybe.
Now THAT is a blog that needs pimping!
Well, here are the FR Grammar Pet Peeves. Now, your new peeve might be a bit off-topic there, but maybe you could hijack the thread a little. Not that any of us would ever do such a thing.
Oh, and here is Peeves, the poltergeist from the Harry Potter series.
Oh, this is getting series.
I'd better check out back and see if my goat is still there...
Yes! You just never know when somebody gets your goat.
Maybe it is under the bed?
Eaker, Eaker, Eaker. I never said I had a goat. I said I looked outside and there wasn’t one. True.
Thanks for your thoughtful response. As you see, I have been a Freeper since 1998. I later became a blogger and have over 6700 posts in my blog. I have been accused of “pimping” my blog for financial reasons. The fact is that I get zero revenue from my blog. I run no ads and I do not use it to generate business for my primary business.
The main reason that I have not hung around to discuss my posts is because they stand on their own. I hope that others can go to sites I link to or in the case of original essays (like the one above) it provides as much food for thought as it it were a newspaper article.
The second reason is that I have a fairly busy day job and I don't have time to spend a lot of time on Internet chit-chat. Some others do and that's fine.
Last, regarding the links. I don't post all or even most of my essays on FR but I hope that if people come to my site they will stop to read some more.
Just to see if I am doing something unusual I have just clicked on the first seven articles posted on FR and six of them are excerpts. Are six out of seven posters here wrong?
For some reason, some people have decided that if you are a blogger, you don't get to do what six out of seven posters here are doing.
So the bottom line is that my blog is not for money and I will continue to share some of my content. I don't intend to be driven out of this forum by cyberstalkers. If some bloggers are polluting the site with junk I'm sorry. I am careful to add only things that I know have not been covered already. Most of the comments I have received from other Freepers have been very complimentary until this little fracas.
Regards.
Oh, woe is me...
OH NOES! This is hugh! Time to lock and load for the Great Goat Rescue Mission.
Then maybe my goat is under your bed? With the cats?
It goes like this: "Ba-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a!"
Is it under there?
Oh, wait...did I have a goat?
I was at my day job for 12 hours today.
But now it's night and I'm off work, chit-chatting and looking for that book "My Pet Goat."
Maybe I'll check amazon.com.
Well, I was a bit skeptical about it, but I looked anyway since you’re a FRiend, and THERE SHE WAS! Not my fault. I blame the cats.
She’s all crated up and on her way home to you. Sorry she lost all that money to those sneaky, gambling cats. They refuse to give it back.
Am SO glad I looked at the site before responding to what I thought was an attack on an innocent bystander.
LOL! (Other than that I’m keeping my mouth shut.)
;-)
Must be one of those Taliban guys.
Since you therefore are not pimping for hits, you should have absolutely no objection to including your entire essay about a topic.
Just to see if I am doing something unusual I have just clicked on the first seven articles posted on FR and six of them are excerpts. Are six out of seven posters here wrong?
As has been explained, there are some sites that must be excerpted, but yours is not one of them.
In all this sturm und drang, you have not spent one second trying to see the other side of this argument. There is a reason for the PimpBusters' position.
