Yep, here's the crux of it from Jim himself...

I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.

If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog.

Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.

IOW, bloggers are welcome as long as they become part of the community and don't simply use FR to pimp their blog. conservativeBC, however, loves to argue with anyone who doesn't see things as he does.

That is fair enough.

I admit that I handled this situation the wrong way. I let a few smart a$$ comments piss me off. If my blog sux so bad then why is it always being linked on this site?

From my point of view I just followed sitemeter back to a site that was linking my blog a lot, and was attacked when I tried to share something that I thought was worth knowing.
