Why not just post your writing in full?
Because I don’t need to try to follow and comment on one more sight. It’s all I can do to keep up with the sights I post full columns on now.
There might be a lot of exposure on FR, but if there is no reference site to identify with, what difference does it make?
If attracting readers to other sites is considered inappropriate, then the value of posting on FR diminishes quickly. If those are the rules, fine, I’ll gladly play by them, now that I know what the rules are.
From my perspective, the main value to me was the opportunity to attract attention to one of the sites I post on. I’ve been called a pimp, etc. for that, and that’s fine.
I’ll just go elsewhere.
Thanks for your input.
