Most bloggers excerpt their stuff. Nothing seems to happen to them. The powers-that-be can easily kill the threads. They don't. Gunner does not speak for JimRob and has no authority.

The anti-blog faction does have legitimate concerns that should be respected so if you are going to excerpt make sure you provide enough info so a reader will know whether it's worthwhile for him to click the link, and to show that you are not a spam site. If you are a conservative you should proudly support FR on your site.

Other than that don't let the bastards grind you down.

They also attend Furry conventions and have tissues near their monitors.

Other than AIDS and various other nasty diseases.

Nope, I sure don't. I speak for myself. That's even more a problem for you.

I'm unaware of any anti-blog faction.

I've heard rumors that there is an anti blog excerpting faction.

Bloggers would do well not to excerpt their own material.

Of course not. Jim Rob speaks for Jim Rob:

Jim Rob: "it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material...We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog."
