[Alas Babylon!]

I'm sorry you saw it that way. Truly.

And yes, I do acknowledge there are persons who lurk here and seek for every opportunity to post nasty, vulgar comments.

Now, I wasn't commenting on the post, but to this post by old-ager:

I continue to fail to understand the complaints about bloggers that are not based on the content of the posts. It looks like these complaints are an FR _fad_. FR is supposed to be smarter than that.

Do you not acknowledge blog pimps are really posting excerpts here to get hits on their sites?

Note also I didn't say blogger. I said Blog pimps. Can you tell the difference?

And I resent you accusing me of lecturing ANYone. I was replying in a back and forth to ONE poster. Are you just offended because I didn't reply to you? Am I not also allowed to have an opinion? If I reply with more than a paragraph, is that too lengthy for you?

Someone just PM'd me about many battles about this topic with a certain FReeper who is neither me nor you... Hence your anger?

Now, if you have a problem with a certain FReeper with the initials HG, I'm not defending him at all. I do understand people having a problem with HG, but for goodness sakes, I was even thinking of him when I replied to old-ager!
