Why it’s an issue no matter how deep heads are buried in the sand:
Posts like this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3086858/posts?page=43#43 and the childish gang style attack posts on blog pimps won’t save FR either! What part of that is so hard to understand?

*********************************
Your above post indicates that if the reader was simply able to understand your point of view, he or she would agree with you.
“Why would I care to curb a behavior to which I don’t object?”
Wow. That is how all bad, depraved, unethical, and irrational behavior is justified - the person engaged in it doesn’t object to it. *Sigh*, that explains a lot.
“Posts like this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3086858/posts?page=43#43 and the childish gang style attack posts on blog pimps won’t save FR either!”
Do you understand that point of view? If not why not?
If you do understand it, do you agree with it? If not why not?
I don’t agree with it, because the owner of this site has made his position clear on the issue.
Really?
Would you agree to curb your behavior of.. oh, let's say driving.
If I found it objectionable, you should knock it off. No matter if you don't find driving objectionable.
You wouldn't?
Give it up, dude. You've just got a hate-on for folks who bust blogpimps.
All your flopping around is derived from that one simple fact.
What issue, Posts like this http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3086858/posts?page=43#43 and the childish gang style attack posts?
You realize there are two issues, the issue of blogpimping, and the issue of how the attack gang reacts to blogpimping?
I realize that those who “blogpimp” tend to object to any mention of it, regardless of the wishes of the owner of this site.
“You’ve just got a hate-on for folks who bust blogpimps.”
You don’t get to define what I hate. Good thing too because you are wrong. What I am questioning is the childish immature and counterproductive behavior “folks” here use busting blog pimps.
You said;
“Why would I care to curb a behavior to which I don’t object?”
I said: “That is how all bad, depraved, unethical, and irrational behavior is justified - the person engaged in it doesn’t object to it.”
Why did you deliberately ignore the last part?
Apparently you do not object to to your own behavior, behavior like this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3086858/posts?page=43#43
I’m not saying you should change that kind of behavior because I object to it - I’m saying you should change that kind of behavior because YOU object to it. The fact you won’t change says something about you and FR - because FR is where the behavior is on display.
“Apparently you do not object to to your own behavior, behavior like this:”
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3086858/posts?page=43#43
Not especially.
I think it’s funny as hell.
Context counts. Check the posting history of the person to whom it was posted.
“I realize that those who “blogpimp” tend to object to any mention of it, regardless of the wishes of the owner of this site.”
Likewise the those who childishly attack blogpimps tend to object to any mention of their behavior, apparently regardless to the wishes of the owner of this site. There kind of infantile behavior does not help FR in any way shape or form.
Cue your post; ““I believe in honesty, civility and good manners. That applies to everything that we do as civilized people in a society.”
Amen.
We are all guests on this site, and as such, should politely abide by the wishes of the owner.
Yes it is funny in a junior high school sort of way. I understand that.
Isn’t it interesting that it isn’t honey or vinegar that attracts the most flies? It’s cowpies. But ultimately cowpies are waste material that stinks. I’d put post 43 in the cowpie category - something that does appeal to tween-age boys.
It would ironic if graphics like those in posts in 159 and 164 generate generated the most donation hits. If that turned out to be true I’d shut up. Ha!
AMEN!
Key word — “polite” !
“I have no complaint if a good conservative blogger posts his own material to FR, not as an excerpt to drive hits and discussion back to his blog, but rather to impart useful information to OUR readers and to promote and join in on the discussion and conservative activism HERE on FR.”

You are correct. That was one lesson I learned the hard way. During the 2012 Primary season, I violated Jim's rule regarding derogatory posts towards Noot Gingrich. Jim had set a limit of 20 during any 24-hr period. By the time I reached 37, I found myself being tossed from a 4-story window. It took months for me to fully recovery.
Most primary seasons are contentious, to say the least. It’s the rare poster who doesn’t get caught up in it from time to time.
True story.
