Something I figured out years ago about FR: Ignore the opinions and feelings of others. If you have an opinion, spout it without fear.

2. I "stole bandwidth," though it's hard to see how posting a short exerpt with a link was worse than posting a long article--or how repeated insulting comments don't also "steal bandwidt." My favorite.

You have run afoul of our local shill for the New York Times and such.
Some people feel threatened by the demise of the dinosaur media.

All of your "sins" come as a surprise to me. I must be a fellow sinner, finding nothing wrong with any of your "violations".
I am going on 13 years as a Freeper, and I am in my 60th year, so I have some standing. Here's my distilled wise counsel to you:
Pay these nefarious nabobs of negativity no regard. This is not called "Free" Republic for nothing.
Besides, anyone with a Polish name must be borderline great. I grew up in Chicago with a bunch of Poles and love those people.

After almost 10 years here I still want to know what those pricks think the “bloggers” section of FR is for? Because I don’t know, as it’s apparently not for, y’know BLOGGERS.
Don’t sweat it.

You have to understand that every place has people who are jerks and bullies. They all hang out together just like in High School. Some people around here just need to be ignored, like in all of our life. They're just pitiful.
I would rather have “blog pimps”, as they call them, on FR than those who have nothing better to do than complain about them. At least they are attempting to contribute something to the discussion.

You must have been visited by humblegunner. Just tell him what I do ... “Good, you handle the little stuff like punctuation, spelling, and blogposts, and we’ll handle the rest...like ideas and thought.”

It sounds like you were soliciting commentary on your
ouevre and got them.
I'm not a blog pimp cop, but they do have a point. I've been on FR a little while, and value it highly; I consider it my "one stop shop" for current articles, commentary and criticism. A loooong time ago, nothing was excerpted until FR was taken to court and certain media sources demanded it, based on the premise that FR was depriving them of hits. Those of us around at the time accepted it as, "the way it had to be," but see no need for excerpting when the author is the one posting it on FR!
Similarly, I'm not one to attack another's grammar, vocabulary, spelling, etc., unless that person is making a point based on their presumed intellect and education.
If you're that confident in the quality of your writing, save yourself the $229, post your material as a vanity post (for free!!) and you'll get more commentary on here on your substance rather than your presentation.
As an analogy, you're swimming in somebody else's (Jim Rob's) pool here. Even if you're the world's greatest high diver and we'd all be impressed by your skills, the rules simply state, 'no diving'. Other than that, come on in...the water's fine.

Bloggers are not a problem. It is blog pimps that are the problem. A pimp is someone who needlessly excerpts from their own personaly blog just to rack up lots of hits. If it is your own work, you should just post it here. If your site is on the excerpt list then you excerpt it. :-)
I assumed falsely that most conservatives are interested in saving our nation from leftists undermining it from within, and extremist Muslims attacking it from without
Watch out. Saying stuff like that is asking for ZOT.

A reasoned response. As you now see, the blog-patrol has been summoned to this thread to hunt down their prey.
So, is it correct that a blogger can post a vanity thread in “news” that merely copy/pastes from his blog, but cannot post half a post and a link to his blog in the bloggers section?
I’m not being difficult, I’m merely curious.
