Yet I have noticed that if it is BIG NAME well known conservative blogger, even if it is one say for example that may have even a radio show, there is a tendency for even a Humblegunner to back off and leave the thread alone or the writer in question alone so as not to be viewed as a troll. But that is me.

If they're big enough, they don't come around pimping their own stuff and redirecting traffic onto their blogs.

Someone posting other folks material because it is of interest isn't pimping.

Big or small, if it posted in its entirety, that isn't pimping.

It's the no-name little wankers that post excerpts in order to score some hits that are a problem.

Less and less a problem every day.

Yes now.

Like this post for example:

What possible reason could that person have for not posting the full content?

Some of us, who post in full on FR, and stay in the Bloggers & Personal forum, and don't act all "blog-pimpy" have earned the "humblegunner seal of approval" on FR.

Here's to avoiding the lightning.
