Tell you what HG, I challenge you to find one instance of copyright infringement, cut and paste, direct link, whatever. You will not find one. And do I post to drive traffic to the site? Of course. Isnt the entire purpose of the New Media, at least as it relates to conservatism, to open up the space of ideas, to share thoughts, to devise strategy and to ultimately defeat Progressive-liberalism? I hold pretense to any “extraordinary importance” of our site, myself and the others writers who contribute to Dignitas are simply citizen journalists concerned about this country and would like to share these frustrations and solutions with others. We are but one many voices in the wind but if every now and again can reach someone and help them re-think their previously held opinions of conservatism and break a pattern of voting Democrat....and every now and again that happens....then this is our reward.
So yes, I look to increase our small readership and hits by any legitimate means available. You obviously dont know the nature of the business side of it itself, as to think any financial incentive from FR hits is laughable. To begin, none of us are pros here. These stories are often contemplated on the morning commute, researched during break, get written during lunch and edited only after the kids homework gets checked.
My problem with you, HG, is that not only are your attacks tedious and attention diverting but also based on assumption and without actual merit....much like the Duckworth story. Ill throw you one more challenge, write a story...submit it to me. If its good I will gladly and happily publish it....and promote it on FR for you.
Next time I need a current example of hubris, I'll reference that quote.
"To begin, none of us are pros here."
Lather, Rinse, Repeat.
"We are but one many voices in the wind but if every now and again can reach someone and help them re-think their previously held opinions of conservatism and break a pattern of voting Democrat....and every now and again that happens....then this is our reward."
If you are in fact planning on writing anything you wish to be taken seriously in the future, you should acquaint yourself with the grammatical malconstruction known as "The Run-on Sentence." It's a bad thing. Well placed prepositions are good things.
(Pardon me if I seem grumpy. My check from Uncle George is late and I'm at the bottom of my stash.)
