Do we have a new rule, now, that says we have to excerpt Townhall pieces so poorly that we can't get the gist of the article without having to go to the original link?

I have no idea, from this thread, what in the H-E-double hockeysticks you are talking about.

We don’t have such a rule at FR. I think we should. I use excerpts as teasers.

And what’s wrong with going to a site to get the story?

Probably not worth the read if it’s not worth the effort to be posted in its entirety barring any excerpt rule requirement....... Happening a lot on FR today.
