Jim, I think I've read where a blogger said you had sort of endorsed what around here is commonly called blogpimping by stating (paraphrasing) that you weren't against it, and that you weren't going to stop it.

This kind of goofiness that pimpers (sic) bring - the posting of (usually) excerpts (although not in this case), and the vanishing that occurs to the poster afterward, that seems to draw ire.

I realize there's not a lot you can do about it, but what is your opinion of bloggers (with recent sign up dates) posting and running? Does blogpimping bother like it does some of us?

Blog pimping is not my highest priority. Not my job to worry about it. That’s why we have blog overlords.

There is SO much more to get “irate” about. I frankly do not get this obsession some have with blog “pimps.”

But I guess everyone needs a hobby

Previous statement about bloggers by Jim Robinson

...Furthermore, I’m not big on “rules.” You won’t see me posting rules for bloggers. The rules for bloggers on FR are the same as the rules for everyone else. If you are a good conservative activist and are willing to work with US on OUR goals and causes and not against US, then you’re welcome to post to FR. But unless we say otherwise your blog material should be posted to our bloggers forum and it would be best if you do not excerpt your own material and if you would actually join in on the discussion here on FR. We’re not really that interested in driving OUR traffic to YOUR blog. But if our readers see that you post useful information then they might start reading your site and that’s fine by me.
