Some people just become fixated on an issue, to the detriment of conservative activism.
In my humble opinion, there is ample room on this forum for the posting of blog excerpts and articles, and, if I'm not mistaken, there is even a category, which encompasses blogs, intended just for that purpose.
In short, this site becomes richer in conservative content because of these various blog contributors.
Blogging is, after all, a phenomenon which has become very popular in recent years, and I, as a 13-year member of this site, see no reason to repress those who post useful content excerpted from their blogs.
Abusers can always be handled on a case-by-case basis.
And so they are, as was the one in question.
That is exactly how we are handling it. Space is not the issue. Blogs are not the issue.
EXCERPTING blogs with the intent to profit from Free Republic is the issue.
Please use this post to come up to speed on the issues so that you understand it more clearly. Your points are exactly in line with ours. We are doing what you suggest for reasons that you don't seem to appreciate yet.
If you wish I can post a very long post in Jim Robinson's own words that explains the whole thing. But maybe that isn't necessary at this point.
