So by changing a couple of words from these stories:
You have created an “original” blog post and folks should pay you a hit to read it?
What a strategy!
Humblegunner, I truly want to express this with gentleness and respect. I apologize to you for the teasing in the past when you have left me comments. That was out of line and childish of me. However, if I want to share my favorite blog with Free Republic, which I always do, I’m going to continue to do that. I believe that if it violated Free Republic rules to do so, a Free Republic authority would have banned me by now, given your ongoing objections. Most Freepers who read the Bloviating Hammerhead items I post leave supportive and engaging comments. I currently don’t understand why my posting of the Bloviating Hammerhead articles - among the articles of other bloggers and news sources I post - causes you such consternation, though I’m sure I haven’t helped the situation by being snippy in my past responses to you. Mr. Bennett’s work is, in my opinion, a delight to read and is often creative and usually funny and provocative. That’s why I share it a lot. But if it is not your cup of tea, may I humbly suggest, in all sincerity, that you simply don’t read it? And may I ask you, also in all sincerity, that we just agree to disagree? Clearly we are like-minded in some respects, since we both love and use Free Republic.com. I’m sure we can coexist without this ongoing friction. Again, my apologies for my past conduct, and I hope we can resolve our disagreement and even become friends.
