For those who are clueless (humblegunner) as to which forum they are commenting in, here it is:

Bloggers & Personal
Those who do not want to visit blogs will most likely not be looking at articles in the “Bloggers & Personal” sub-category.
Just a guess though!
You'd be wrong there. I always view all forums simultaneously because I don't want to miss anything of interest. When a headline interests me enough to click on it, I do so with the assumption that the poster has been considerate enough to include the substance of the relevant content within the FR thread, assuming they are not prohibited by copyright issues, etc. Blogpimpers don't do this; they post a headline and maybe an enticing sentence or so to try to generate traffic for their blog. Often the blog content is disappointingly lame, i.e., a waste of my time.
Now, FR chooses to allow this sort of blogpimping here, so I don't really complain about it (it's up to Jimrob what he wants here). However, I do appreciate the efforts of humblegunner & others to link directly to the content. FR allows that, too, so maybe you should lose the attitude. Humblegunner didn't harm you in any way, and at least in this thread he didn't do anything to pick a fight with you -- posting a link is not some sort of attack; in fact, it's actually how the Internet works.
In other words: grow up, n00b.
Personally I’d rather you post the link instead of a link to your blog, and appreciate humblegunner for posting a direct link. FYI.
