I thought the guidelines include that a lengthy article needs to be excerpted....

I will defer to the owner of the site, who has had the following to say on this matter:

"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. If a blogger can’t or refuses do that, and if he constantly complains or fights with our participants over it, then I’d just as soon he doesn’t post here. It’s not my job to make his content or his presentation or cooperation acceptable to our readers. That’s his job. And if he cannot do it or refuses to do it and continues posting brief excerpts only and obviously attempting to draw away our participants while loudly complaining about it, then I have no sympathy for his complaints and the more apt I am to ban his account and blog."

Here is the original post, in full context.

Just one thing to add. You have a habit of quoting at length from other sources from which you claim to have permission for reprint. You would do well to make sure these sources are acceptable one for posting on FR. A list of restricted site can be found here.

And now I suspect that you are being disingenuous.

This was all explained very clearly to you on November 28th by one of our most well-respected posters, Mesta Machine in her comment here:
