Transformers: Dark of the Moon, the third in the Transformers series, is in some ways the perfect summer movie. A movie where you can turn off your brain, ignore reality, and simply enjoy sugar sweet Hollywood mayhem.
The movie starts with a basic concept: that the space race in the Cold War was focused on reaching the moon first, not for its scientific achievement, but to obtain alien technology that both the Soviets and Americans secretly knew had crashed on the dark side of the moon millenia ago. Americans, led by Neil Armstrong, get there first...but keep the information hidden.

So do you or do you not support posters excerpting their own work (after repeated requests to post in full) for the purpose of getting blog hits by using FR as a free advertising platform and FReepers as a free hit farm? Hmm? Can you actually answer this question?
If you support pimps then you are in favor of something Jim Rob has said he does not like.
From this we may deduce:
1. You have an i-phone
2. You are in a gay bar
“Notice both the Mods AND the Robinsons have been pinged to this thread yet it remains open. Are you “catching on” yet?”
What I notice is that somebody called Mommy, and Mommy didn’t come.
Catch that?
LOL
Who knew they called it “chuckling” these days?
Pardon me for attempting to defuse what has become a needlessly heated discussion with a little humor. (In before someone says, “Yeah, very little.)
But it was far from a non-rebuttal. You accused me of the apparently egregious sin of erroneous conflation. I disagreed. I am not conflating the two things. As long as the mods don’t choose to pull a thread or kick the offender off the board, I would assume that there must be some sort of sliding scale relating to blog posting, promoting, pimping. Some would draw the line one place and others would draw it somewhere else.
There was a time when people could simply disagree. These days a disagreement seems to require that someone get thrown off the lifeboat.
“Well then let us see where you stand. “
At this point I couldn’t care less.
I’m just having fun pouring gasoline on your fire.
How is it you’ve been around Free Republic all this time and haven’t yet read about Mr. Robinson’s opinion of blog pimps? It’s quoted and linked to in so many blog pimp threads that it’s certainly no secret.
I don’t care who you are. That’s funny.
For what it’s worth (admittedly not much), I would “Like” your post if this were FB
Yes, especially if that is what they wish to do. Further if The Mods or the Owners want to delete such then I applaud that as well.
What I don't want to happen is Free Republic to get sued because someone posted a copyrighted work against the author's wishes.
Now IF you believe dumbergunner's assertion that most Blog pimps post reprinted material doesn't logic tell us ALL blogs should b excerpted to stop some libtard idiot from opening up Free Republic to more copyright litigation?
Where did you get that idea.
If you notice this thread is still open. Thus it tells me his excerpting his blog is Kosher.

It may be Mr Robsinson's request (yet he makes it not a rule) but I wasn't addressing Mr. Robinson I was Addressing Blog Pimp Policeman dumbergunner. Who routinely claims that Blog Pimps should post their work in full and refuses to click the link then states most Blog Pimps use second hand material.
You do see the problem with such an argument don't you?
If that was not addressed to me, please explain to whom is it addressed, if you can. And here is my reply:
To: Mad Dawgg; humblegunner
I see you are still dancing around with the smoke machine and the fancy MylarTM mirrors. But you don't fool me for a second. I've met your kind before.
And you replied with this post:
To: TheOldLady
Ahhh you replied to a post not directed at you so weren't you doing exactly that?
Let me guess if I look in Webster's Dictionary next to the word Clueless I would see a digital representation of yourself?
Seriously your post is an attempt at self-ridicule by sarcasm... right?
You make no sense at all. None. You're all smoke and mirrors,which you would not need if your behavior were in any way condign.
When they post about news stories, where do you think they get the info dumbass?
They read it somewhere. They see a video. They see a news show.
These flatulent and fraudulent blogwankers have no research staff.
And there is not one damned thing that prevents them from posting
their full content of warmed-over crap right here for all to see.
No reason exists for them to excerpt other than to scam traffic away from Free Republic.
Supporting that action makes you an enemy of Free Republic.
I see so then you wish them to post such in full? Even though you acknowledge they don't have a legal copyright?
I would gather such seems so to you because complex thought is out of your reach.
You obviously didn’t read JR’s words. Blogpiping is NOT proper
Oh so if such is so why aren't supposed Blog Pimp Threads deleted?
