Allright, so my time to wade into this blog pimping.

First off, your writing is actually interesting. I read each of your articles, posted here on FR and liked them.

Thing is FR is a community and it is a community that voluntarily pays to keep the lights on around here.

As a community, the Admins, JR, JR and Jim Thompson generally set the standards of conduct, just like in the real world and they enforce those rules.

The community assists in keeping up the neighborhood. By that, I mean, we generally ask people to conform to the standards of posting decorum and not use FR for their own business plan.

If you are going to use FR for your business plan, it comes with rules and you are just going to have to learn to live with them.

When you post at FR, for your blog, we need the full article. This the rest of the community an opportunity to read your musings, which can in turn cause us to take a look at your website.

There are other posters here who do in fact post their full articles such as Jeff Head, Dave Weinbaum and others. They have actually built successful followings and some have even turned their blogging into decent businesses.

Dave Weinbaum use to post here and now he has a radio talk show. It just kind of worked out for him and we wish him all the success.

No point in getting into a pissing match here, as I have noticed on some of your posts. It isn’t going to work out well.

Remember, we are a community and it’s kinda like moving into a neighborhood and deciding you want to open a factory, start a rock band, etc and run them at inappropriate times. Pretty soon the Admins(police) are going to come knocking on your door and it won’t be pretty.

Please post your full articles and I said they are interesting and written well.

Looking forward to your postings and musings.

Post on.

To be perfectly fair, he did post it in ‘Bloggers’, it is his original writing and the damn thing is four pages long.

By the way, that may be the nicest post you’ve ever written to a blogger. You sounded almost ... friendly. Or if not outright friendly at least like friendly might be somehow possible.
