Can you point to one single post that ask you to leave?
We are only asking, as the owner of Free Republic has stated, not to use Free Republic to drive hits to your web site with teaser posts.
Bring your content, share your link. If folks like what they read they can follow your link back to web site.

Thank you for your most, Thackney.
I have said repeatedly that I will do that. Most recently from item #54: “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again — if the rules here require posting full-text articles rather than excerpts, I’ll do that. However, that’s not the only issue.”
For some reason, saying that over and over and over again doesn’t seem to work.
How many times do I have to say that?
There’s another issue, however. I read the two items by Free Republic owner Jim Robinson from December 2010 and the Admin Moderator from May 2011. I also read about 800 comments on the December piece and about a hundred comments on the May piece. It took me several hours to get through all that, and it appears there are at least two more issues, possibly more than that, that I should address before posting again. I’ve sent private emails on those issues and don’t plan to post any more articles until I know for sure what the rules are so I don’t get into trouble again.
I’m not a novice to website discussion boards or to website moderation. I realize it’s a very difficult job, and it is close to the least favorite job I have to do in my own work. I have zero desire to make things more difficult for the administrators here, or to create an unnecessary controversy in this community.
