Let those who want to read their stuff go to their site and enjoy... save the bandwidth here where we need it.

I've seen this comment a few times now, and I keep wondering how this is any different from posting an OpEd piece from a newspaper or magazine? That's done all the time. This is simply a different viewpoint, (even if the majority of folks here do not agree with it) and as such should enrich the forum and stimulate debate. Am I wrong?

Neither the publisher of the Washington Times (for example) nor any of their columnists post their stuff here on FreeRepublic. The Lew Rockwell people do! That's the main difference.

The few Freepers who buy into Lew Rockwell know very well how to get to it. To me, I view the Rockwell posts the same way I do "pop-up" ads. They get in the way, take up bandwidth and are often annoying. Now that everyone here knows who they are, where they are, and what they are all about, there's no need for them to advertise on this forum.
