“Bashing other freepers with foul language has become commonplace around here. It’s sad, really.”
This is what I hear over and over. Why do the mods allow it, and what is the point of allowing Humbler Gunner to post here at all? He has already been banned at least once. Obviously he he is friendly with at least one mod, and gets special treatment here.
Please define the rules, and I will follow them. But I will not bow down to someone like HG, who is not even a mod. Then please ban him as well, to show us that everyone here is considered an equal. Because right now, that is not the case.
I'm flattered.
I see not.
You need glasses.
Current blogpimps under scrutiny include but are not limited to:
Mobile Vulgus (deceased); brittany pounders; chrisboundsTX; talkradio03; MaxCUA and other more minor pimps.
See, here's the deal.
I have a problem with pimps, I address them.
You have a problem with me, you cry for teacher.
That makes you just awesome doesn't it?
I hope you have a tissue into which to weep.

Has Chris done that? If not, why not post the content here on FR for more to see. The link to his site is fine. But why cut the content here if he is really supportive of FR?
Humblegunner certainly doesn't need me to defend him but I sure agree with his viewpoint. Blog pimping sucks traffic away from the community discussion here on FR and is simply a way for blog pimps (not all bloggers are pimps) to use the resources of FR that I and thousands of others DONATE to maintain as a business to make money. That is not appropriate use of our money or the trust the FR community has on the web.
Please reconsider your position. It is quite selfish and does not seem to be supported by the admin moderators.
So you're crying to Jim and the mods to have me banned?
Man, you're a pretty tough feller.
All I've done is to ask you to post your content.
You must be pulling that stuff straight out of the Koran, Ahmed. Harsh.
Good luck with that.
Warner Todd Huston (mobile vulgus)of whose demise you’re so proud, was a freeper in good standing since 2005.
Furthermore, he’s quite well known in Chicago. Michelle Malkin got her start locally as well. Is MichelleMalkin.com a blog? She links to other videos, she links to other content and yet she’s excerpted here on FR.
Who are YOU, humblegunner to be the one to choose the blogs to go after?
YOU may very well have lost readers to FR and donations to FR based on your badgering of freepers in good standing.
Not to mention your filty mouth.
It's NOT your job to do so.
Hi Paulycy,
I find HG who is not even a mod to be quite selfish, and I will not bow to his demands. Since you donate here, why do you support a person who harasses people everyday? All he does is bring down the site, and all you have to do is look at his in forum posts to see this. Let the mods define the rules, not him. What I am doing is within them.
Thank you.
Do you like what Obama is doing? Do you speak out against it?
Why ever for? It's not your job to do so.
FWIW, I’m far more likely to read items posted in their entirity, or in considerable detail here than to go to another site.
So is Obama. Your point?
Who are YOU, humblegunner to be the one to choose the blogs to go after?
Those would be the excerpters and the video thieves. Easy.
Not to mention your filty mouth.
Filty wilty walk on stilty. Speak English.
The first day we spoke, you told me to STFU up, so try reality. I am not the one who hides behind a fake name (not that every person who uses a Internet name is a coward) and calls his friends into the threads.
Maybe one day you will realize that you are not a mod here.
End of conversation.
Islaminaction, ChrisBoundsTX, brittany pounders, and talkradio03 are active FReepers who have comments in the comments category in their posting history. I would hazard a guess that they contribute to FR during FReepathons and are not FReeploaders.
How is that not supportive of FR?
Does it detract from hits that FR receives? Does it have a negative impact on the money raised during FReepathons?
Is it in violation of the FR posting guidelines? Is there any official restriction against someone linking to their own blog or is it simply a matter of someone else not liking it?
Why is this such an issue for some? Just cause THEY don’t like it?
If you have something to bring to the FR community then BRING IT TO THE COMMUNITY by posting it and discussing it here. You can also, incidentally, provide a link to your blog. Then people can voluntarily visit your blog for further edification and entertainment. That works out for everyone. Do you see the distinction? I hope so. It's not likely to go away any time soon...
Has Chris done that? If not, why not post the content here on FR for more to see. The link to his site is fine. But why cut the content here if he is really supportive of FR?
Blogs are reciprocal. Chris has not hesitated to link back to FR or hat tip to a freeper. Guess what? Then people from other sites who visit Chris actually come here. That's how blogs work.
Although I no longer frequent the site, I actually found freerepublic from a link from Drudge to Littlegreenfootballs - gasp a blog!
You keep saying that but you fail to shut up.
The first day we spoke, you told me to STFU up
Would you like to try for that goal now?
The mods have not defined the rules, and I don’t hit and run. Once again, you why don’t you look at how HG talks to non-bloggers as well. He obvious has mental issues.
I want people to see as much as information as possible on this issue, so I will do what I think is best.
“It’s not likely to go away any time soon...”
Thanks for the threat of harassment. I will not bow to you either.
“Then please ban him as well, “
He’s already banned.
Don’t you ever look at his page?
Islaminaction, ChrisBoundsTX, brittany pounders, and talkradio03 are active FReepers who have comments in the comments category in their posting history. I would hazard a guess that they contribute to FR during FReepathons and are not FReeploaders.
Why is this a problem?
Does it detract from hits that FR receives? Does it have a negative impact on the money raised during FReepathons?
Is it in violation of the FR posting guidelines? Is there any official restriction against someone linking to their own blog? Where is that stated?
I have no use for true blog pimps, who just link to their blogs and virtually NEVER post comments. I found one a few years ago that posted 17 (IIRC) threads from his blog site alone and not one comment.
I don’t have a problem with actively posting FReepers doing it.
If he is banned, how is he still posting? What is on his page, is from the last time he was banned.
