Joseph, allow me to ask a few serious questions.
I assume you are Joseph Speranzella, SFO? (Whatever an SFO is).
A quick review of your posting history shows thread after thread started by you, all linking to a column you wrote somewhere.
I presume you think highly of your opinion. That’s fine, that puts you in good company.
Now, with this large body of work of yours.....what is your goal here in posting link after link? Do you seek to educate, or direct traffic?
I think the answer must be the latter. If indeed you seek to educate primarily, you could simply post your entire thesis on each thread and then stay around to defend it.
Whether you think we need to digest such a large number of theses is up to you. We can click on the thread, or just move along.
But I ask again, what is YOUR purpose?
You post a lot about religion and spiritual matters. Do you seek to inspire? Inform? Elevate?
If any of the above, why not post, instead of tease and redirect?
Is there something in the Great Commission that calls on Christians to go forth and excerpt the Good News, and redirect the listener to a version replete with ads for Miracle Whip or Heavenly Hash (the spiritual version of Google Words)?
If you are here to be part of the FR community, why not just be a part of it? Why USE FR for virtually exclusive commercial purposes?
I am NOT saying I want to read 100 vanities from you a day. I don’t. I’m just suggesting you try to contribute something helpful, and not just spam the boards.
It might make a difference.
I link to my articles because they have more to offer in the way of spiritual direction and the Christian life than just the black and white forums of FR. You need not be insulting or facetious about something like The Great Commission. But if such sarcasm is your brand of humor...I accept that. I have been a member of FR community for some time now and I always link back to the discussion at the end of my articles.
So I really don't have an answer for you since you seem to be set that I'm trolling. It is in some ways a little of both. It does have a "soul" purpose but not the sole purpose of getting "hits"
Thanks for the tips.

Looks like you nailed it.
