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.

You didn't share it, you excerpted it. Why not post it here?

Because you're not posting them. You're excerpting them. Why not post it here?

Then why not post it here so we can read it?

I wouldn't know if It's my cup of tea or not. Post the whole thing so I can read it.

I am not a blog-hit generator and neither is Free Republic.
