Homeboy only pimps his blog and never comments.

I readily admit that I've defended some posters against the 'blog pimping' charge, but this one is a clear-cut case of forum abuse.
There's no question that those who post excerpts of their own articles here, then never comment, are simply using FR as a feeder conduit to their own sites.
Not only is that behavior repugnant, the fact that they don't even bother to engage with this community, is a complete insult.
