“I’d like to read it too.”

So read it. The means is at your disposal. Or don’t read it. Why do you suppose anyone else cares?

Fear not those of you who would begrudge an author being paid for his efforts – I profit nothing. I defend capitalism for free. Neither RealClearMarkets nor Forbes pays me per hit or via any other measure.

I write for the same reason I enlisted on my 18th birthday and left for boot-camp the weekend of HS graduation. Because freedom is worth defending and the message is worth spreading.

But watch out you vigilant profit preventers – another RCM article is posted today defending the free market. “There’s No Iniquity In Income Inequality.”

You’re free to click or not click. It is your choice. My only gain is the bemusement of watching some of your reactions.

And that profit has already been gained.

So read it.

So post it.

I defend capitalism for free.

Then why excerpt? Why not post the full content?

Yes, I've seen it. It too is needlessly excerpted.

You are a common blogpimp.

"Fear not those of you who would begrudge an author being paid for his efforts – I profit nothing."

If you have no incentive for profit, then why direct traffic away from this forum in the first place?

I'm all in favor of you making all you can off your work. I think it would be a great incentive for you to do much better work.

However, I question the wisdom (not to mention good taste) of pimping your work in a community of which you have been a member for less than two weeks. FReepers pay, through their donations, to keep this site free of ads, cookies, trackers and the journey through redirect hell.

While we champion Capitalism, we are first and foremost, a community of like-minded individuals who contribute both our money and our efforts to advance Constitutional Conservatism while keeping this site a island of safety in the danger and nuisance filled internet.

You think it's funny that we're protective of our forum and it's content? I think it's funny watching blogpimps get hoisted on their own petard.

Lest you meet the fate of so many others, here's a little guide to local customs.
