No, it's a video hosting site.
FR is a Blog just a bit larger than others
Absolutely not, it's a discussion forum.
I think you may be a bit confused as to the definition of things.
Your comfort level about videos or sheer laziness is funny
Well there you go. Choose to be amused by it and everyone profits.
visitors from 88 countries (yesterday) in 36 languages (about average) to AntiMullah tend to make your opinion and preferences irrelevant
Bully for you.
I have no problem with blogs qua blogs.
Folks who find a video, embed it on a blog, and post a teaser
here causing folks to visit the blog to see the video.. that I have a problem with.
It's pimping and pimps deserve to be smacked.
By your definition of pimping, using someone else’s “work” to bring in visitors applies equally to a video hoster like YouTube - using other’s work to bring in viewers and in their case money.
In the same way by YOUR definition a discussion forum like FR is also “pimping” work from elsewhere to bring in viewers with lots of clicking in all directions.
To use the same broad brush you use on others, So is your posting pings to have people read what you want them to - is pimping yourself.
In any event, you come across as a grumpy old man with a silly hang up trying to impose your viewpoint of how YOU want things done. That's not a discussion. And out of place until you replace Jim Robinson and have the right to impose how you want FR to be used. He does, you do not.
Using a self-righteous slogan about pimps deserving being slapped is a slogan intended to tar and feather when facts fail to support your stance. Take a look in the mirror next time you misuse insults. And stop picking fights pro bab ly out of boredom. Get a life.
Regardless, you have far too much time on your hands and I do not, so bye, bye.
